- List_of_Major_League_Baseball_franchise_postseason_droughts abstract "Throughout the history of Major League Baseball, franchises have had various postseason and World Series droughts. All 16 of the original Major League franchises (i.e., those in place when the World Series began in 1903) have won the World Series, with the longest wait for a franchise's first Championship being for the Phillies (77 years, ending in 1980). Since expansion began in 1961, eight of the 14 expansion teams have never won the World Series. Further, two franchises (the Cubs and Indians) have current Championship droughts that pre-date the expansion era. The second- and third-longest Championship droughts in history (after the Cubs' current 105-year drought) were ended recently by the Red Sox (85 years, ending in 2004) and the White Sox (87 years, ending in 2005). Notably, the Cubs' current World Series drought began before the creation of any of the other three major American sports leagues—the NHL was founded in 1917, the NFL in 1920, and the NBA in 1946.Only two expansion franchises (the Expos/Nationals and Mariners) have never won a pennant (i.e., the league championship, the two winners of which meet in the World Series), while the Rangers recently ended the longest-ever founding pennant drought (49 years, ending in 2010). Only the Cubs (at 68 years) have a current pennant drought that pre-dates the expansion era.Every MLB franchise has at least been to the postseason, especially since expansion of the playoffs in 1995 made that feat easier. The Royals have the longest active postseason drought at 28 years, followed by the Blue Jays at 20 years, while all others are at 11 years or less. In 2012, the Nationals broke their franchise postseason drought of 31 years (since the 1981 playoff appearance of the Montreal Expos) and a 79-year postseason drought for the city of Washington (since the Senators' 1933 pennant). In 2013, the Pirates broke a postseason drought of 21 years. This list includes only the modern World Series between the American League and the National League, not the various 19th-century championship series, and is updated through the 2013 postseason. Those teams which have never achieved a particular accomplishment in their franchise history are listed by the date they entered the leagues.".
