Despite accomplishing the third-longest postseason streak in Major League Baseball history, the Los Angeles Dodgers never got past almost.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ season ended in game five of the NLDS against the Washington Nationals it was the earliest the team had been eliminated since the 2015 season. It also closed out what had been a successful decade for one of LA’s premier franchises.

Despite the great regular seasons and some playoff memories, it also meant that the Dodgers closed out the decade without winning a World Series title extending that drought for a third straight decade.

The Los Angeles Dodgers aren’t the only team to have a historic run lead to constant futility at the biggest stages, over the years with all the historic teams that have played in Los Angeles there are others who have strung together long winning runs but missed out on championship glory.

Here are some other great decades from LA sports teams that did not lead to any championships in the trophy case.
