MLB Trivia (best record edition): In the last 14 years, how many times has the team with the best record in baseball won the World Series?

Posted by musubi Sep 23 '09, 11:25

Usual moose trivia rules apply. 3 moose points for the correct answer.

Bonus question (2 moose points):
In the same time frame, what WS winning team had the most teams finish the regular season with better records?

    - Amen. I will go to my grave cursing the name of Guillermo Mota and Yadier Molina. (nM) - musubi Sep 23, 11:38 1
      - I think you guys mean 2001 -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 11:41
- That's a great graph -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 11:34
diamondbacks? -- nm - dogbert Sep 23, 11:32 1
- Mariners won 116 games that season. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 11:35
# is the Cardinals of 2006...they were 8th out of 8. # of #1 seeds winning.....1 time (1998 Yankees) -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 11:29 2
- I think the Red Sox may have been best a couple years ago. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 23, 11:30

1, Cardinals. -- nm - Jim Sep 23, 11:28
2, Cardinals -- nm - Don Homer Sep 23, 11:27 3
- *bonus ding* There were actually 12 teams with better records in MLB than the Cards the year they won. (nm) - musubi Sep 23, 11:31 2
  - Molina's homer was great...but Wainwright completely freezing Beltran with that curveball to win it is forever tattooed in my brain. -- nm - Jim Sep 23, 11:33 1
    - *shrug* That was a great pitch. Molina had *no business* destroying the ball the way he did in that NLCS. - musubi Sep 23, 11:34
Since 5 of the last 6 were wild cards, not them. So... I'll guess 3. -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 11:26 6
- and the Rockies -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 11:27 5
  - they've never won it all -- nm - Don Homer Sep 23, 11:28
