The only team to go from worst to first and win the World Series was the 1991 Minnesota Twins, who defeated another last-to-best ball club, the Atlanta Braves. In one of the most exciting Series ever, the Twins won in seven games with Jack Morris pitching 10 innings of shutout baseball for the final victory.
Evan Longoria was 6. If the Rays are knocking on destiny's door, it's been a long time coming.
