[RoyalsBlue]

Well, I ran a sim replay of the MLB, letting the rookies debut during their correct year but being drafted instead of going to their RL teams. At some point I will begin a dynasty offline with the Royals in this league, but for the moment I'm going through the 140 plus seasons to gain a little perspective on how things went down.

The winningest franchise, at least in terms of championships won, is the Boston Red Sox with 13 titles, followed by the Chicago Cubs with 10 and Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh and San Francisco with 9. Pittsburgh has been in the playoffs the most, 29 times followed by Boston (27), Los Angeles Dodgers (26), Detroit (25) and New York Yankees (24).

There are several teams that have yet to savor the feeling of being a champion and they are Arizona, Florida, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Tampa Bay, Texas and Toronto. The Brewers have made it to the playoffs 7 times without winning the big one, but both Arizona and Kansas City haven't even made it to the playoffs yet.

The worst seasons ever in term of team losses are both over 120 losses as the 1961 Washington Senators went 40-122 and the 1962 New York Mets went 41-121. At least they are only in the top 6 once apiece. The Kansas City Royals, easily the worst team overall in this replay, have two of the top 6 worst seasons of all time with 116 losses in 2006 and 115 losses in 1974.

The best hitter of all time spent his entire 24 year career with the Cincinnati Reds and his name was Travis Jackson. He's the all time leader in games (3424), at bats (13325), runs (2103), hits (4060), total bases (5951) and singles (2973). He was also 4th in doubles (592) and 3rd in rbi (1915).

The best pitcher of all time, Charlie Sweeney, was a member of the Boston Americans (later Red Sox) and he too spent his entire career with this one team, a total of 22 years from 1882 through 1906. He had the most wins and losses (459-421), most games started (933), most complete games (677), most innings pitched (7754.1) and was a whopping 282.1 WAR for his career. He held the top spot for strikeouts (4200) until he was passed in the early 1960's by Hal Newhouser, who still holds the lead today (4290).

Next up a profile of a few of my favorite players growing up (George Brett, Frank White, Ozzie Smith) and then I'll just start throwing random things out there, so if there's someone you want to hear how they did, just let me know.

Thanks for reading!
