It depends what you mean by greatest. The Pirates generally suck, but they have the league's best record in deciding Game 7's of the World Series (5-0). By comparison, theLwerd's Yankees are 5-6

Sunderland AFC because they have the most loyal and vocal supporters and they are one of the oldest football clubs in existence.

... Fans have nothing to do with it, and just because a team is old doesn't make it good :P

How can you justify using Game 7's as an overall indication of who the best baseball team is?

I am not saying that Game 7's are the only indicator. I was just pointing out that list can drasitically change based on weight given to certain statistics, such as Game 7 records.

For example, if one uses forced turnovers as the main stat to weigh the best defense, SMU (Southern Methodist University) would be one of the best defenses in Division 1 college football, standing at #4 in the nation with 20 forced turnovers (The top three are Ohio, Iowa, and Air Force, with 23, 22, and 21 respectivly)
