I’m heading to San Francisco on Wednesday to cover the Giants victory parade. Woo-hoo! It’s their second celebration in three years – and the Giants now have more World Series championships this century than even the New York Yankees, who have just one from 2009. In fact the only team that matches the Giants legacy of two titles this century is the Boston Red Sox, who won it all in 2004 and 2007.
Of course, if you go back in time, the stats look a little different:
The New York Yankees are of course the top team overall, with 27 world championships. No other team has even half that amount. The St. Louis Cardinals are second with 11 titles; the Boston Red Sox are in third place with 7 championships.
The New York Giants are in 4th place with 5 titles, while the San Francisco Giants are near the bottom with just two (2010 and 2012). But if you combine SF and NY championships, then the Giants, as a franchise, have won it all 7 times.
I’ll capture some pictures from the Giants parade on Wednesday and post them for you to see!
