MLB has expanded six times. The 1962 expansion (Mets & Astros) is now the first one with two franchises that have won the World Series.

The Astros AVERAGED 108 losses a year from 2011-13. No team had done that since the 1962-65 Mets. The price they paid to get to this day.

What a turnaround! The Astros are the 4th team to lose 100 games and then win the World Series within 5 years. #WorldSeries2017 pic.twitter.com/ttK5TTCwx3
