Nolan Ryan and Chuck Greenberg's $593 million purchase of the Texas Rangers in a bankruptcy auction was only approved on August 12. Yet, here they are in the World Series.

That got us thinking, over the last 30 years, what was the quickest amount of days to a title?

Sure enough, Greenberg and Ryan, should the Rangers win in any amount of games, will qualify as the fastest owners to hoist a trophy over the last three decades in the four major sports.

If the Rangers win in seven games, they'll beat out the now disbanded YankeeNets group by one day. In 2000, the New Jersey Devils won the Stanley Cup 86 days after the conglomerate purchased the team from longtime owner John McMullen.
