The New York Bears continue to be the "little brothers" of New York. They are one of the four teams--along with the Kings, Blue Sox and Green Sox--to have never won a pennant. They came close in 1916, their best season to date, when they went 74-66 and finished in third place, only 3 games out of first place. That is the closest they have ever come, and they regressed to 66-74 in 1917. 1918 produced their best record in team history at 77-63, and they again finished in third place, 6 games out of first place. Most recently, they finished in fifth place with a 69-71 record. They also lost a ton of money in 1919, and rumors continue to swirl that they may cede New York to the Knights, and move again to find a home to call their own. Their attendance is way lower than the Knights' attendance (and the Knights' 4 straight pennants don't help them either).
