The Yankees have won I belive 7 WS since 1961, which is a long long time ago, but I took a look at other sports in which a team dominated their sport then faded away.
The Canton Bulldogs of the NFL had won 4 NFL championships in 10 years
that's more than I belive 25 NFL Teams currently.
Now, who remembers the Canton Bulldogs?
Do you hear anyone say 4 to 1 or 4 to 0?
No cause no one right now cares about the Canton Bulldogs who played in 1920, and 1920 is way to far away to matter right now.
