The Brewers' legendary beloved announcer Bob Uecker, who recently died at 90, and whose name adorned fans' signs during the game, was known for playing insane pranks:
I live in the US, and have heard nothing at all about this. What surprises me is this never used to happen when I was a kid.

Was fun to have a Series in which each team was the best in its league and in which each team was competing for its first championship. I’m a Red Sox fan, and I remember 2004. It’s a tremendous experience as a fan (of the team or just of baseball). Go Brew Crew.

Any time the Dodgers or Yankees don't win the World Series, that's a reason to celebrate.

That leaves just the San Diego Padres (1969), Seattle Mariners (1977), Colorado Rockies (1993) and Tampa Bay Rays (1998) left who have never won a World Series.
Since this is baseball, I might as well provide the other stats I just pulled up as that's very much in the spirit of the game:
21 teams have won more than once: Yankees (27), Cardinals (11), Athletics (9), Red Sox (9), Dodgers (9), Giants (8), Pirates (5), Reds (5), Tigers (4), Braves (4), Cubs (3), White Sox (3), Twins (3), Orioles (3), Phillies (2), Guardians (2), Mets (2), Royals (2), Blue Jays (2), Marlins (2), Astros (2)
5 teams have one exactly once: Angels, Diamondbacks, Nationals, Rangers, Brewers
The Mariners are the only team to never have even played in the Series.
It's been 78 years since Cleveland last won. Followed by Pittsburgh (47), Baltimore (43) and Detroit (42) (not counting the two teams that have never won above - Padres and Mariners).
The longest gaps between series wins are the Cubs at 107 years (1908-2016), White Sox at 87 years (1917-2005) and Red Sox at 85 years (1918-2004).
And in case you're unaware, the first World Series was played in 1903.
That's 124 total scheduled championship seasons (1903 through 2026), minus 2 canceled seasons (1904 boycott and 1994 strike) for a total of 122 World Series.
