Ever wonder why only two teams (New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays) have won consecutive World Series championships since 1993? Ever wonder why only one team (Boston Red Sox) has won multiple World Series championships in the last decade? If you had to ask these questions, then the answer is that there is parity in baseball, and any team can rise up and take the prize.
Last year, the San Diego Padres went from worst to first, then first to second in the same year. The San Francisco Giants made a few deadline moves here and there, and BOOM! World champs!
Every year, the six division title teams from the previous season need to look over their shoulders and watch out for that team coming after them. The problem is, they’re all looking at the wrong teams.
