The Yankees are by far the most successful team in baseball, with 27 World Series wins to their name. The Cardinals have won 11 World Series titles, while the Giants have won 8.

Last but not least, it’s worth mentioning that all three of these teams have also won multiple pennants (league championships). The Yankees haven’t gone more than four years without winning a pennant since 1926, while the Cardinals haven’t had a drought of more than three years since 1944. The Giants, meanwhile, went 50 years between pennants (1958-2008), but have now won three in the last 10 years.
