'75 Red Sox.

Maybe I'm biased because I was in South Jersey at the time, but one of those hosts raised this on KNBR this morning:
Are the '93 Phillies the most famous non-WS winners?

1951 Giants, because everyone remembers Thomson's HR that sent them to the series, even though the World Series wasn't memorable, except for Mantle getting hurt.

1954 Indians are also well known for winning 111 games, and having Vic Wertz hit that deep fly ball to Willie Mays.

Was half suspecting it was from giving people Dutch ovens. I like this provenance much better

Damn, he's only one year older than I am. With him and now Baylor?? Too close to home.

However, Mr. Mays remains alive and kicking so there's that.

Sorry, RIP Mr. Daulton.
