Infographic: How often does the best team win the World Series?
Posted: June 13, 2015 Filed under: 20th Century, 21st Century | Tags: Baseball, Craig Robinson, infographics, Major League Baseball, World Series Leave a commentHere’s another great infographic by Craig Robinson demonstrating that having the best regular season record does not necessarily mean post-season success. This graphic only covers from 1995 to 2010, but we saw a good example of this just last year: the Kansas City Royals’ and the San Francisco Giants’ regular season records in 2014 ranked 7th and 8th in Major League Baseball respectively. It goes to show that having a great season and getting to the playoffs is important, but the real competition begins in October.
