World Series Teams
By:awallad
Some teams get to the World Series and you know that they are going to win it all. Like the 1927, and 1961 Yankees. The Red Sox of 2004 and the Reds from the Big Red Machine days are a few other teams where I felt that their destiny was secure before the series started. Some teams are so strong that they win four games to none. The Yankees have done it seven times. The Giants are next closest in four games to none series wins with two sweeps to their credit. By contrast the Yankees have been swept three times, the most of any team. With the A’s, Cubs and Cardinals all being winless in series play twice.
The test for a playoff team is winning in seven games. The last game of the post season is at hand and there are NO second chances. In seven game series the team with the most wins is not the Yankees. It’s the St Louis Cardinals with seven wins followed by the Yankees with five victories. Many teams have won seven game series twice. The Twins, Dodgers, Pirates, Tigers, and A’s make up that impressive list. On the losing end the Yankees head the list with five losses. They are followed by The Giants with four seven game losses, The Dodgers, Cardinals, Tigers and Red Sox with three losses each are next.
Of the 39 World Series the Yankees have been in 10 times the series ended in four games. Eleven times the series ended in seven games.
The St Louis Cardinals have seen the World Series 16 times. Seven times they won in seven games and three times they lost in seven games. They were also swept two times.
The A’s of Philadelphia, Kansas City and Oakland have a combined 9-6 winning record when it comes to World Series play. Second to the Yankees 26-13 record. On the other end of the spectrum the Dodgers are 6-16 and the Giants are 5-15.
The teams that have gone the longest without winning a World Series are The Indians (last won in 1948) and The Giants. They have been without a Series trophy since 1954. Did I forget the Cubs? 1908 was their last World Series triumph. That’s’ 98 years ago.
The Rangers, Mariners, Nationals (Expos), and Rockies have yet to make the fall classic. While The Padres, Brewers and Astros have been to the Series, they have yet to drink the champagne for being World Series Champs.
Also of note is that the Red Sox were World Champs five times from 1903 to 1918. During that 16 year period, (there was no World
Series in 1904) the five wins by the Sox, established the Bostonians as one of baseball's initial dynasties.

- 3). The Parachute History By : john
According to researchers, the first practical parachute was introduced by a French inventor in 1783, Sebastien Lenormand. It was he who demonstrated the parachute principle with a dog at the passenger’s “seat.” However, parachutes had been imagined and sketched by Leonardo Da Vinci while he was living in Milan centuries earlier, around 1480-1483. Also, other inventors have designed parachutes, including the Croatian inventor Faust Vrancic, who constructed a parachute device, based on Da Vinci's sketches.
