Since the early seventies, only two MLB teams have won back-to-back-to-back World Series championships (that is, "three-peats"): the Oakland A's (from 1972-74) and the New York Yankees (from 1998-2000). A fourth straight title for the NYY was averted in Game Seven of the 2001 World Series by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who jumped all over Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning of that game.
