Actually, it is pretty impressive when you consider this expansion era to the other two. All four expansion teams from the 90s have made the World Series. The longest was the Rockies at 15 years. Compare that to the previous expansion teams:

Angels: 42 years
Rangers: never
Astros: 44 years
Padres: 16 years
Expos/Nationals: never
Mariners: never
Blue Jays: 16 years

Only the Mets, Royals, and Brewers made it to the WS quicker than the Rockies but even then, none of them come close to doing as quick as the D-Backs (4 years) and Marlins (5 years) who both won it.
