2043 Season:
The
BALTIMORE ORIOLES won their first World Series in 60 years, defeating the New York Mets in 6 games.
The
BUFFALO BISONS finished in last place and have been relegated to the Pit of Despair. They finished 55-106, 3 games behind the Jupiter Marlins. The Bisons are the first team to be relegated with an overall record above .500, and their relegation comes especially as a surprise given that they went 89-73 last season.
164 teams remain in Major League Baseball...
