Question
Hello Steve,

my question is this: Which 10 or 11 teams have won the most world series since 1903? I have a list from a book which says that the Yankees won 23, but after looking at a World Series web-almanach, I counted number 25 already in the fifties. Could you send me a correct list with the facts? Thanks, and go Dodgers. Bye

Answer
Here are the top World Series winners:

NY Yankees..........26
St. Louis Cardinals..9
Dodgers............. 6 (Los Angeles: 5; Brooklyn: 1)
