1988. Enough said.
Mariners. I commend you for your loyalty. It took me about 50 years with the Giants. But at least they had a long list of superstars. And the incomparable Willie Mays. Seattle has had Griffey, King Felix, The Big Unit and a lot of misery. But one day, they will get there. One problem they have is the AL West is tough. A’s are darn good. And Astros are off the charts.

106 and out in the NLDS.
LA. Dodging the World Series since 1988. A choke for the ages. I love it.
Well, as a long-suffering fan of the team which
1. has the longest playoff drought in MLB,
2. has never been to the World Series,
3. had one glorious year in which it set the record for most victories in the regular season (but lost in ALCS)
I would take a single wildcard game at this point.
