The "wait 'til next year Dodgers are a great choice. Like the 1990 Braves, they dominated the regular season, but almost always lost the Series. They had the opposite of the Braves pitching, they had a great starting lineup. IMO the 1953 Dodgers had the best starting eight in history! But not enough pitching, so they always came up short against the Yanks (except of course 1955).
Six World Series against the same team in 10 years, and a team in the same city. It must have sucked to be a baseball fan in the 1950s if you lived anywhere but New York.
