The New York Yankees are poised to begin another playoff run in a matter of days, and say what you will about their World Series chances, but ... at least they have a chance. Sorry, Juan Soto.

This time of year, no matter how you actually feel about the current team, you can't help but get that little October glint in your eye. The bunting drops down over the stadium's overhangs. The turtlenecks come out in the dugout. The crips fall air hits the sleeves of your '96 Torre jacket just right, and you just ... well, you feel like beating the tar out of some less-gilded winners from the National League.

Over the course of the Yankees' illustrious history, they've won 27 World Series against 13 different opponents (in 13 different major cities). Can you name everyone who was crushed by the Yankees' machine? How quickly can you do it?

How quickly can you recall all 27 of the Yankees' World Series championships?

And please, can we make it 28 soon? I'm getting so tired of the No. 27.

For reference, if you're trying to beat me - and I know you are - I was able to finish this quiz in 22 seconds with zero incorrect guesses, and honestly, I'm a little disappointed in myself. I could've done better. I could do better. But now that I've done it already, it's tainted. I won't go back. I have no reason to lie or fudge the digits. 22 is the number.

So go out and top it. DM me on Twitter to tell me what you've done. Spam my LinkedIn. I want to know, I deserve to be embarrassed. I deserve to be as embarrassed as the Yankees' franchise that's left us stuck on 27 for 17 years, opening us up to widespread mockery.

All we need is one to change that, folks. Don't need 27 more. Don't need an entirely new free agent class or an International Draft. Just need a ring we can add to 2009 and 2000 and 1978 and 1932. It doesn't matter how many of the victories or defeats you, personally, witnessed. One more title unlocks the whole history. It gives it its meaning back. It lets you say "28 rings" again. Don't we want to say that again, folks?!

Speedrun the quiz before this year's postseason. Feel alive. Reset the vibes. Beat my score.
