Either the Cubs are 2-14 World Series play or you're counting years prior to the existence of the World Series. I don't think they have had that many World Series, I seem to remember the 100th World Series was like ten or so years ago.

Yeah, the Cubs (and other teams) won several 'pennants' prior to the World Series existing, which started in 1903.

There have only been 110 World Series, over 112 seasons of it existing (1904 and 1994 didn't happen) so any team with more seasons in existence than 112 should be adjusted accordingly.
