Bloops: The Longest Droughts

Posted by Neil Paine on September 15, 2009

In today's bloop, Sporcle asks you to reflect on the franchises that have suffered the longest since their last World Series crown. Unfortunately for fans of the #1 team, barring some kind of outright miracle finish to the season, this streak is going to continue for another year; #2 is eliminated as well, but at least there's still some hope left for #3.

    after you play that sporcle drill, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_franchise_post-season_droughts . I created it six years ago, and since then a number of people have added it and modified it. It is fun to look at.
