Um no...the Chicago Cubs last won in 1908. The century mark is coming up for them. The Red Sox have won the World Series 5 times including the very fist which only a handful of teams have exceeded in number.
sorry....very first
The point I commented on was "more recently", not about how many times.
"(who, ironically, have won a WS more recently than have the Red Sox)."
I put the little winking smiley face thingy in there because I was playing. But if you want to get technical, how many teams, besides the Yankees, have won the World Series since 1918?
Where is the "irony" in the Angels winning "more recently" when, off the top of my head, the Marlins, the Diamondbacks, the Braves, the Orioles, the Twins, the Blue Jays, the Royals, the Mets, the Dodgers (LA & Brooklyn), the Cardinals, the Pirates, the Phillies, the Tigers, the A's, the Reds, the Indians, heck even the Washington Senators have won a World Series "more recently" than the Red Sox.
Originally intended to be a facetious comment on my part, I apologize for my insensitivity to the feelings of you poor put-upon Red Sox fans. Sheesh, I want so badly to pull for the Red Sox, but ya'll make it so difficult to even care what happens.
But I will wish your team good luck.
