My Alltime Baseball League just wrapped up its second season. The champion Denver Pilots' batting order starts with quite a top 3: Tim Raines, Roberto Clemente and Ty Cobb!

Speaking of this, here's the best team I've ever seen so far in this random debut: The 1914 Brooklyn Robins (109-53, with an Expected Record [based on 774 runs scored/495 runs allowed] of 112-50). They were an incredible team as you can see, but they didn't get past the 2nd place Phillies (the eventual World Series champs) in the first round. As Billy Beane knows all to well, the postseason is one gigantic crapshoot. Look at that 5-man starting staff.
Not one pitcher missed a turn in the rotation. You've gotta be lucky to be good, and good to be lucky I guess.
