5. The Chicago Cubs:

The Chicago Cubs have been in the league since near the leagues creation. They were one of the most successful teams in the early 1900s with two title victories. After the early success, the Cubs faced more than a century of defeat. They would not win another title until the 2016 season.

4. The San Francisco Giants:

The Giants became a common name in many households during the mid 1900s. They were very successful and had many title victories. They ran into a rough spot during the late 1900s but have recently been very successful.

3. The St. Louis Cardinals:

Arguably one of the most successful teams in the league, the Cardinals have won the second most titles in the league. They were successful at every point of the 20th century. They are one of the most valuable franchises in the league. They have been having trouble in the recent years, but they should right the ship.

2. The Boston Red Soxs:

The beginning of the 20th century was completely owned by the Red Soxs. They had nearly half of the titles between 1900 and 1920. Tragically for the Red Soxs,G the most effective curse in the history of sports would keep them out of the World Series for nearly a century and would go on to stop them from winning one until 2007.

1.  The New York Yankees:

The New York Yankees have been the team to beat in the MLB since the beginning. They have more than double the title victories than any other team in the league. They have always been stacked with talent and have the highest salary cap in the league. Right now they are as powerful as ever and will likely contend for another title.
