Since the last Cubs' world championship in 1908, the Cardinals have won 11 World Series. St. Louis Cardinals fans are used to winning. What makes themâand not the New York Metsâamazing is the number of times the Cardinals surprised the experts once late September and October rolled around.
A total of 111 Series have been contested, with the NL champion winning 47 and the AL champion winning 64. The New York Yankees of the AL have played in 40 of the 111 Series through 2015 and have won 27 World Series championships, the most Series appearances and victories of any Major League franchise. The Yankees have also lost more Series (13) than any other club. The St. Louis Cardinals, who represented the NL for a 19th time in 2013, have won 11 championships, which is the second-most among all 30 Major League teams as well as most among NL teams.
