Atlanta Colonels

The Atlanta Colonels have an interesting history. They came into the league as an expansion team in 1926 and finished with a .500 record (which usually does not happen with expansion teams). They were serious playoff contenders by their second season, and in 1929 (their fourth season) they posted their best record ever and went to the World Series, although they lost to the New York Knights. They did not suffer a losing record until their sixth season in 1931, but they have tailed off since then. Since 1931, they have only been back to the playoffs once, in 1946 when they lost in the NBC Championship Series. They have not been that great lately, but they do still have a winning record all-time, so that is something. They are, however, one of the five teams who have never won a World Series.
