Six Major League Teams to Go for a World Championship

Baseball is over a month into its regular 162 game season in 2022. Hope springs eternal for some teams. Not so fast Cincinnati! They are deplorable so far. Could they not even win 50? After today they should be 3-20. Egads.

    Of the six franchises that have never won it, since 1900 or so, three of them are looking good: San Diego, Tampa Bay, and Milwaukee. The other three have less hopeful aspirations, but even Colorado is doing ok with a record of 14-10. Seattle, which has never even been to the World Series, sits at 12-13.

Who is the sixth? Let's see... Oh, yes, the Texas Rangers are 10 -14. Not looking good.

My Washington Nationals are off to a poor start, but I think that they are showing promise and will improve. Offensively and defensively. They are now 9-17, but might win another series against today.

The Chicago White Sox are under-performing, 11-13, but their injuries will hopefully subside and they will surge as predicted preseason.

My teams are the Nats and White Sox.

Other teams look strong, like the Yankees and the Dodgers. Wealthy and loaded. The Mets are looking good, too. 

But if my teams cannot win, I would like to see a never-before team do it, like the Padres, or the Rays, or the Brewers. Why not the Rockies?

Crazier things have happened, but we shall see.

Money has the Dodgers, as they did it in the pandemic-shortened 2002.

Atlanta got hot and surprised many last year.

Play ball! Let's have normal while war wages in Europe. And, the pandemic winds down.
