Going back-to-back in professional baseball has proven difficult in the history of the sport.
The last time a team won consecutive World Series, the Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000. Prior to that, the Blue Jays repeated in 1993 after winning it all in 1992.
Arguably the most unique occurrence of consecutive titles happened between 1972 and 1978. The Athletics won three straight titles from 1972-1974, followed by the Reds going back-to-back in 1975 and 1976, before the Yankees won in 1977 and 1978.
