Did you know that the yankees have won 27 world series titles?
And only 7 since the Colt 45s/Astros were granted a franchise?
It doesn't matter a whole lot, but it is actually 8 (62, 77, 78, 96, 98, 99, 00, 09). While your context IS important, 8 is still impressive nonetheless (and I'm as far from a Yankee fan as one could be). The Cardinals, in that time frame, have 5; the A's and Sox 4 each; a couple of teams with 3. And the Dodgers should wrap up their 6th (albeit with 2020 -- if you want to asterisk that) in a day or two. Not to mention their 6 WS losses in the same time frame (Yankees also have 6, going on 7, pennants).
