Besides the New York Yankees, which baseball team has been the most successful?

Question

Okay then... how about the third and fourth most successful teams? (I agree that the Cardinals are the second most successful)

Answer 1

Cardinals.  They're right after the Bronx Bombers when it comes to World Championships.  

But no one comes close when you start talking about the World Famous New York Yankees.

Answer 2

Yep, it's the Cards.

Answer 3

Cardinals more pennants and World Championships than any team other than the Yankees.

Answer 4

My Cardinals, the "yankees" of the National League

(no championships came from rediculous payroll)

Answer 5

The cardinals with 10 Championships

Answer 6

Most successful in history in order:

Yankees (26)

Cardinals (10)

A's (9)

Red Sox(7)

Dodgers(6)

Reds/Pirates/Giants (5)

Least successful:  The Phillies have won only once in their 100 plus years of existence!

You could also argue the Florida Marlins.  They've only been a team for 15 years yet every time they make the postseason they win the World Series.

Answer 7

Yeah, the Cardinals. Although the Oakland A's have won the 3rd most amount of championships, and the Red Sox are starting to catch up.
