Is there any baseball teams in the american world series that never won a world series?

Usually its 1 finger fastball and 2 fingers curve ball. After that it depends on what other pitches he can throw: slider, changeup, split finger. Also many times when there is a player on second they will change their signals so that the base runner can't relay the pitch to the batter.

In general
1 = Fastball
2 = Curve (Index & Pinky, usually)
3 = Change

After that it depends on the pitcher and catcher.

When there are runners on base they flash multiple signs and the pitcher and catcher agree on which sign is the indicator (i.e. second, third, etc.). This is to prevent the runners from tipping of the batter as to what pitch is coming. The pitcher and catcher change the indicator frequently to make sure theyre not figureing it out.

as a righty.

1 with your "pointer" finger = fast ball inside to a righty, outside to a lefty
1 with your "pinky" finger = fast ball inside to a left, outside to a righty
2 = curve ball
3 = change up
4 = whatever else the pitcher can throw (knuckle ball, splitfinger, sidearm)
Middle Finger = "brush back" or high and really inside.
