Guaranteed Drought Breaker: A New World Series Champion is Coming
18 Oct
Summary
- A Brewers-Rays World Series would be the first since 1980 to feature two first-time champions.
- A Brewers-Guardians matchup would combine for 134 years of waiting for a championship.
- This year's drought-breaking potential rivals the 2016 Cubs-Indians historical wait.
Next week's World Series is poised to break an extended championship drought for at least one franchise. For the first time since 1980, the Fall Classic could feature two teams who have never lifted the coveted trophy. This scenario highlights the significant championship waits many teams carry.
Should the Milwaukee Brewers face the Tampa Bay Rays, it would mark only the second instance since 1920 of a World Series pitting two inaugural champions against each other. In another potential matchup, the Brewers and Cleveland Guardians have a combined 134 years without a World Series title (78 for Milwaukee and 56 for Cleveland).
