    Question #99228. Asked by david1975. (Sep 06 08 7:30 PM)

    		The answer depends on whether you consider the team to be the same after they move to another city. If so, it would be the Dodgers. If not, the St Louis Cardinals.
    * 11 occurrences: Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers-New York Yankees (Yankees won 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1977, 1978; Dodgers won 1955, 1963, 1981)
    * 7 occurrences: New York Yankees-New York/San Francisco Giants (Yankees won 1923, 1936, 1937, 1951, 1962; Giants won 1921, 1922)
    * 5 occurrences: New York Yankees-St. Louis Cardinals (Cardinals won 1926, 1942, 1964; Yankees won 1928, 1943)

    		Brooklyn Dodgers 7 (moved in 1957); LA Dodgers 4

    New York Giants 6 (moved in 1957); SF Giants 1

    So, reconsidering my previous answer, it is the Dodgers no matter how you count it!
