How many modern Major League teams made it to the World Series three years in a row? Have any lost in their first two appearances and won it all the third time?
-- Paul J., Garland, Texas
The Yankees, after acquiring Babe Ruth from the Red Sox, first went to the World Series in 1921 and 1922. They lost both times to the New York Giants. They went back in 1923 and beat the Giants for their first World Series title. They have won 26 more since then.
