Hidden Secrets and Untold Rivalries: Ranking MLB’s Most Legendary Teams from Babe Ruth to Clayton Kershaw
9. 1906 Chicago Cubs (2.13)
Again, if you’re a team that didn’t win the World Series, you must have had an unbelievable season to make these rankings. That’s the case with the 1906 Cubs. Behind the famous double-play combination of Tinkers to Evers to Chance and 26-game winner Three Finger Brown, Chicago finished 116-36 with a .763 winning percentage that remains the highest of the modern era. The club’s 116 wins stood alone until the Seattle Mariners, led by Ken Griffey Jr., matched that mark in 2001. This Chicago team owns the 10th-best D-TRACR (-1.25) of the modern era. In the World Series, however, the Cubs were upset by the 93-win Chicago White Sox in six games.
