Now, this statement may be controversial, but...winning the World Series is sick. Dodgers fans are lucky that their franchise has done it three of the past six times the Fall Classic has been played, and this current core is gunning for a three-peat in the coming months. Those three titles make it nine total for the Dodgers franchise, across Brooklyn and Los Angeles, which ties them for the third-most championships all time.
Can you name the other franchise that's tied with them? How about all the MLB franchises who've risen to the top of the mountain 5+ times? How quickly can you do it? That's what we're asking you to catalog in our latest Sporcle challenge. Race against the clock, show off your championship knowledge, and top the high score.
And, hey, once you get it, play it again and try to do it faster. Honestly, that's what we would do.
Now, look, we'll be nice. We'll give you a few hints.
Which MLB teams, alongside the Dodgers, have the most World Series championships?
The Dodgers are tied with two other franchises with nine series victories. That means two of MLB's historic winners remain ahead of them, and even a 2026 title wouldn't change that (though it'd break the three-way tie). It ... well, it shouldn't take much for you to figure out which franchise is currently the leader in the clubhouse, and the No. 2 team shouldn't be too hard to discern, either. We'll help you out there - it's a National League team, and it's one that hasn't moved around much.
Below the fold, there are two teams with four titles and four franchises with three apiece. One of the four-time winners is in the contention mix this year. One is ... not.
Notable, among the three-timers, you'll find one of baseball's forgotten franchises in the Minnesota Twins, who used to be the Washington Senators. 1987. 1991. 1924. No, that one doesn't count as a Washington Nationals victory. Never disrespect Roger Peckinpaugh like that again.
Hey, wait! You're trying to get answers from us! Ok, there's one, but you're not going to sneak another out - Ok, fine, but we'll make it a boring one. Do NOT choose these franchises under any circumstances. They're the only ones without any titles to speak of.
The Seattle Mariners - they've never even appeared. The Tampa Bay Rays - we beat 'em! The Colorado Rockies. The Milwaukee Brewers. And, of course, the franchise that's been around the longest without winning it all, the San Diego Padres (origin point: 1969).
You're right. We just wanted to emphasize, with fervor, that the Padres have never won a title. But how could you blame us? Now, go out there and guess!
