What MLB teams have multiple World Series titles? (2024)
Last season, the Houston Astros picked up another World Series title after their Game 6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. This was their second championship trophy in history, the first given to them in 2017 amid a cheating scandal that marred the Astros’ record that year.
Houston joined the ranks of several other teams who have won the World Series more than once: with their last pennant, there are now 21 multi-title holders.
However, it will take the Astros, or any other team, a long, long time to catch up with the team with the biggest number of titles in Major League Baseball.
New York Yankees reign supreme
The New York Yankees have an astounding total of 27 trophies. They won the first one just over a hundred years ago in 1921, and they had their last victory in 2009.
The St. Louis Cardinals are a distant second with 11 World Series titles. They are followed by the Athletics and the Boston Red Sox, who have nine each, followed by the Giants with eight, and the Dodgers with seven.
Bottom of the list
On the lower side of the table, the Arizona Diamondbacks, Angels, and Nationals sit with one World Series win each.
There are six teams in the history of the league who have yet to win a single championship- the San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, Rangers, Colorado Rockies, Brewers, and Seattle Mariners.
Here is a list of teams who have won the World Series more than once.
A team has repeated as a World Series champion only eight times since the league became fully integrated in 1959. It hasn't happened since the league adopted a multiple wild card format, either. Of the 14 teams to win consecutive championships, seven did it before World War II.
Has Any Team Won 3 Straight World Series? The New York Yankees won three World Series in a row (1998-2000), four in a row (1936-39), and five in a row (1949-53) — the longest championship streak in MLB history. The Oakland Athletics are the only other team that has won three straight World Series (1972-74).
MLB has had four three-peats. Three of them have been by the New York Yankees, with the most recent being from 1998 to 2000. The only other baseball team to win three straight World Series? The Oakland Athletics from 1972 to 1974.
Perhaps that's why since Major League Baseball held the first official World Series back in 1903, just 14 teams have been able to win at least two titles in a row. Oddly enough, the first franchise to accomplish the feat was the Chicago Cubs, who took back-to-back championships in 1907 and 1908.
The Dodgers have represented the NL the most in the World Series with 21 appearances. The Seattle Mariners are the only MLB franchise that has never appeared in a World Series; the Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, and Colorado Rockies have all played in the Series but have never won it.
New York Yankees hold the record for consecutive World Series victories. With five straight World Series wins between 1949 and 1953, the Yankees marked the most dominant era in Major League Baseball history. The Yankees have three straight World Series victories (1998-2000).
The New York Yankees has the highest regular season winning percentage, with .570. The Miami Marlins have the lowest, with .460. The San Francisco Giants have the most overall wins (11,480), while the Arizona Diamondbacks have the fewest (2,018).
The Cincinnati Reds went a perfect 7-0 in the 1976 postseason, while the Colorado Rockies went 7-0 before getting swept by the Boston Red Sox in the 2007 World Series. The Rangers have gotten five of their six wins on the road, with their only home game coming in the closeout contest of the ALDS.
The Yankees hold the record for most consecutive World Series titles, coming out on top five straight times from 1949 to 1953. Only 14 teams in MLB history have won multiple World Series in a row.
The 2023 All-MLB First Team winners include catcher Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles; first baseman Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers; second baseman Marcus Semien of the World Series Champion Texas Rangers; shortstop Corey Seager of the Rangers; third baseman Austin Riley of the Atlanta Braves; ...
