New York Yankees (most in American League) 27 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Yankees St Louis Cardinals (most in National League) 11 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Cardinals This is assuming the question refers to the most titles, not the most individual games won. The answer to that question is probably also the Yankees, given the number of World Series appearances they have made, not only when winning. To quote the musical, "Damn Yankees!". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damn_Yankees Nov 22 11, 4:09 AM

With the question as worded, I took it to mean the team that had won the most games in a single World Series. The New York Giants, Cleveland Indians, and Cincinnati Reds all won five World Series games when the series was best-of-nine (1919-1921). One of these included the infamous Black Sox scandal. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/history/postseason/mlb_ws.jsp?feature=recaps_index Nov 22 11, 5:27 PM

The University Of Texas has 82 wins in the collegiate world series, not enough to pass the Yankees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_World_Series#Top_Ten_most_CWS_wins_.28games.29 Also, The Boston Team (aka the "Americans") won five games in 1903, the first year the series was held in MLB.
