World Series Per City, 1903-2022

I was going to list my Top 5 Reasons to Root for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2022 World Series, but you only need 1: The other team is the Houston Astros. So I'm doing this instead.

Note: For the many World Series that were the Yankees against another New York team, and the few that were also intra-metropolitan-area contests, I'm only going to count it once. Ties are broken by most recent.
