If you're a New York Yankees fan, you know it's been a decent amount of time since the team last won the World Series.

But if you're not? And you're wondering the answer to when the last World Series win was? We've got you covered there.

That would be 2009, when the team beat the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. Since that title, they haven't made the World Series, losing the ALCS five times over the years since then. Overall, the franchise has won an astonishing 27 world championships in its storied history.

That's it! We'll see if they can win one again.
