Brewers now in top 4 for longest World Series championship drought

Last season, the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians had a chance to end major-league baseball's two longest title droughts when they competed in the 2016 World Series.

It was the Cubs' 108-year streak that ended after their thrilling 10-inning, 8-7 victory over the Indians in Game 7.

Now Cleveland owns the distinction of going the longest without winning a championship. The Indians' last championship came in 1948.

But where does that leave the Milwaukee Brewers, who despite finishing, 86-76, in a rebuilding year, missed the playoffs again?
