I've seen a lot of pennant winners in person [View all]

Quite a few teams I’ve seen in a given season have gone on to make the World Series or win it.

2006: Cardinals at White Sox, Redbirds win the World Series.

2012: Tigers at Cubs, the Tigers win their most recent pennant.

2013: Cardinals at Cubs, St. Louis wins its most recent pennant.

2014: Royals at White Sox, Royals win their first of two straight, with the big prize the next year.

2016: Pirates at Cubs - Finally.

2019: Astros at Rangers - Houston wins its second pennant in three years.

And now, 2022: Nationals at Phillies, and Philadelphia makes an improbable run, like the Phold of 1964 in reverse.

It’s nuts.
