10/20/1977 - A look back
Before we move on I wanted to take a quick look back at how my recent teams have turned out.
Cincinnati Reds:
Won World Series in 1960 (88-66)
Next 3 years: 86-68, 98-64, 82-80
Playoff appearances: 1
New York Mets:
Won World Series 1965 (96-66)
Next 3 years: 89-73, 89-73, 85-77
Playoff appearances: 0
New York Yankees:
Won World Series 1970 (97-65)
Next 3 years: 91-72, 89-73, 91-71
Playoff appearances: 0
Milwaukee Brewers:
Won World Series 1974 (91-71)
Next 3 years: 71-91, 78-84, 79-83
Playoff appearances: 0
Other than the Brewers everyone did pretty good in the three years following, although there was only 1 playoff appearance to show for it.
Looking back on Milwaukee it was three losing years before making the playoffs, and in retrospect it seems like we got quite a few career years in 1974.
