It happened to the Amazin' Mets during the 1969 season. It also happened to the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates, the 1973 and 1974 Oakland A's, and the 1981 and 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Florida Marlins, they have been to the post season 2 times (1997 2003) and won the world series both times. They were also the first team to win the world series as a wild card
The MLB team that has won the 2nd most World Series is the St. Louis Cardinals. They have won 11 times and lost the World Series 7 times. But, the team that has won the MOST World Series is the New York Yankees. They have won 27 World Series and lost 13 World Series.
They were the 1st team to win back to back World Series, or for that matter, they were the 1st team to win the World Series twice (1907-1908)
No. As of right now only one team has switched from the AL to the NL or vice versa, the Milwaukee Brewers. However, they have only been in the World Series once (1982) when they were still in the AL.

None.Through the 2009 World Series, the Yankees have played in 40 World Series. Second is the Dodgers who have played in 18 World Series. The Cardinals and Giants have played in 17 each.
After this year there is only ONE active MLB team that's NEVER appeared in a World Series... That team is The SEATTLE MARINERS (Only team that's never won their Pennant)
No. Every World Series team with a 3-0 lead has gone on to win the world championship.
