-Since the end of World War II, there have only been 6 teams that won 100 or more games in a regular season, and then went on to win the World Series that did not hail from New York City. Name them.
-Out of the 6 110 or more win teams in MLB history, which ones went on to win the World Series.

2005 World Series Champs
2010 the Giants won the WS, the 86 Mets won over 100 games but i'd think there would be more.Originally Posted by jnakamura
This would be wrong too I was thinking only Yankee teams but its teams from NewYork.

I think jnakumara got em all and i'm assuming he meant the 2011 Phillies who won 102 games and have a decent shot at winning this year but I cant think of any team that accomplished this since 1945. Although during WW2 there were some Cardinal teams which won 100 games.

In Love With This Game
I think jnakamura got all the 110+-win teams, although the 1954 Indians are incorrect, as they were upset by the Giants in the World Series.
It looks like he got five of the six 100-win teams, though the 2010 Phillies are obviously incorrect. I'm not sure who the sixth team is. Maybe the 1967 Cardinals?
EDIT: I sat here thinking about it for so long that CWS beat me to the punch.

yeah but the 2010 Phillie pick was a pretty big miss. I can see the Indians being a mistake since it was over 50 years ago but having a cold doesnt excuse the Phillie pick. im kidding with ya.Gimme a break.
