help with plot

[Gary Klass]

I have been trying to plot the number of world series championships won
over the past 80 years by each of the teams in the current baseball
playoffs.

My problem is that two of the teams never show up on the chart. And one
only once.

What causes this problem?

Weak pitching?

Gary -

Weak pitching, poor clutch performances, various curses on the teams.

The Red Sox last won in 1918, which is 85 years ago, and the Cubs in
1908. The Marlins won one time, and the damn Yankees have run away with
it in between.

Go back 100 years, to 1903. And root for the Sox.
