Trivia: What is the only current MLB team to never play in a World Series?
Chicago White Sox
Tampa Bay Rays
Detroit Tigers
Seattle Mariners
Correct Answer: Seattle Mariners
So why is this answer correct? : Of the 30 current MLB teams — 15 in the American League and 15 in the National League — only the Seattle Mariners have never appeared in a World Series. Seattle has been home to some of the game’s biggest superstars through the years, including Ken Griffey Jr., Felix Hernandez, and Alex Rodriguez, but it has also played host to some of the most disappointing moments. In 2001, for example, the Mariners tied the MLB record for single-season wins (116), but lost to the Yankees in the ALCS.
