The Rays lead-off hitter blasted a homer to start the game, and things never got better for the Oakland A’s because Tampa added three more dingers.

The Yankees and Twins will now square off in a match-up of 100-game winners, while Tampa Bay will go on to challenge the mighty Astros, who posted one of the highest regular season win totals in baseball history (107).

Four teams have won more than 110 games in the regular season, but produced mediocre results in the post-season. The two at the top of the list failed to come home with the rings.

1906 Cubs, 116 wins, lost the World Series.
2001 Mariners, 116 wins, lost the ALCS.
1998 Yankees, 114 wins, won the World Series.
1954 Indians, 111 wins, lost the World Series in a 4-0 sweep.

One thought on “Tampa si, Oakland no

  1. I myself haven’t done enough research but there are more teams. Last year’s Red Sox won 108 games and won it all. The Mets in 1986 won 108 and won it all. The Indians in 1995 were 100-44, which would be 112-113 wins over 162 games, and they lost in the WS. Could be more, but those are off top of my head
