I managed in a historical league starting in 1972. I was signed by the Oakland A's. I can't get a screenshot but heres my records.

1972- 99-63 Play-offs!
1973- 92-70 Play-offs!
1974- 95-67 Won WS!
1975- 103-59 Play-offs!
1976- 77-65 (Lost Reggie Jackson for the season in June)
1977- 88-74
1978- 90-72 Play-offs!
1979- 95-67 Play-offs!
1980- 86-76(lost Vida Blue for Career)
1981- 80-82
1982- 85-77
1983- 92-70 Won WS!
1984- 105-57 Won WS!
1985- 102-58 Play Offs!
1986- 100-63 Won WS!
1987- 80-82
1988- 53-99 No contract extension
1989- 79-83 (signed 1 yr with hou)

this is still on going. It's been alot of fun. I've spent every year with Oakland.(until 89) Owner is really patient. I had a dominant team the first four years till Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter and Bobby Bonds all went down in 76. Bonds and Hunter both bolted as free agents after injury plagued seasons. My most consistent player has been Mike Schmidt. I got him in the first season after i dealt Ken Holtzman and Roy Campeneris for him. That was a steal. Camp went onto to play 2 AS Games and Holtzman ended up being a .500 pitcher. Schmidt has been a 5 time MVP, leading the AL in homers 8times, with 12 AS appearences. Losing Vida Blue really hurt my staff. I was able to build back up through free agency and the draft. I was happy to get Reggie Jackson a couple more world series before he retired. Mike "superjew" Epstein won 1 MVP but Jackson never won a single one even though he led the AL in homers twice. He did make the HOF and Epstein didn't. Neither did Blue. Oakland fired me after 2 bad yrs. Thats what i get for fielding an old team and dealing all my spects. Houston signed me for 1 yr
