The best team ALWAYS wins the World Series. This sport challenges a team like no other. A 162 game schedule followed by 3 seperate playoff series (wild card, LCS, WS). After playing for well over six months and at the very least 173 games the winner of the marathon is the best. That doesn't mean the team with the most talent wins, just the best team. The Arizona Diamondbacks are the best team in baseball. Why? Because they are the team with World Champion after their name. They will be the best team until someone beats them. There is only one way to quantify success and that is with results. You can turn this into a semantics exercise concerning best vs. most talented if you want but it doesn't effect reality and the reality is the winner of the World Series is the World Champion and that makes them the best team in baseball right up till they lose. We can debate the most talented team in baseball but never the best team. They play a 162 game season and 3 playoff series to find that out. The proof is in the results.
