<Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <P> Throughout the history of Major League Baseball (MLB), franchises have had various postseason and World Series droughts . </P> <P> All 16 of the original Major League franchises (i.e., those in place when the first World Series was played in 1903) have won the World Series, with the longest wait for a franchise's first championship being for the Phillies (77 years, ending in 1980). Since expansion began in 1961, seven of the 14 expansion teams have never won the World Series . Further, one franchise (the Indians) has a current championship drought that pre-dates the expansion era . The three longest championship droughts in history were ended recently by the Red Sox (85 years, ending in 2004), the White Sox (87 years, ending in 2005), and the Cubs (107 years, ending in 2016). Discounting the 33 years in which there was no MLB franchise in Washington, there have been 60 seasons played in Washington since their last World Series championship (in 1924). </P> <P> Only two expansion franchises (the Expos / Nationals and the Mariners) have never won a pennant (i.e., the league championship, the two winners of which meet in the World Series). The two longest pennant droughts in history were recently ended by the Rangers (49 years, starting with the team's foundation, ending in 2010) and the Cubs (70 years, ending in 2016). The Expos / Nationals pennant drought includes 36 years in Montreal, which no longer hosts a team, and 13 years since the move to Washington; discounting the 33 years in which there was no MLB franchise in Washington, there have been 51 seasons played in Washington since their last pennant (in 1933). </P>

Is there any mlb team that hasn't won the world series
