Participating in Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees is the most successful team in the history of the competition. They hold the record for most World Series appearances and have won 27 World Series titles.

The New York Yankees baseball cap is worn by people around the world and they are without doubt one of the most popular US sports teams.
Changing sport and the Denver Nuggets are one of the most popular basketball teams. Playing in the National Basketball Association, Denver Nuggets joined the league in 1976 but have yet to make an appearance in the NBA Finals. They have had several players in the hall of fame, including Allen Iversen, George McGinnis, Charlie Scott, and Bobby Jones plus have over 1 million followers on Twitter and 2 million fans on Facebook.
