(Washington, DC)  --  Behind a big first inning, and a lot of good pitching, the Washington Nationals are on their way to the World Series.  That leaves just the Seattle Mariners as the only franchise to never make the World Series.  Prior to the Nationals and formerly the Expos, the Texas Rangers broke their drought in 2010 when they lost to the San Francisco Giants.  Possibly the M's best shot was in 2001 when they won 116 games, but they lost to the New York Yankees in the ALCS.
