Best starts

I've been playing OOTP for many years. My team (Jacksonville) just had the best start to the season (22-3) that I've ever had managing teams. Pretty cool. Providence also started hot at 20-6.

What's the best start you've ever witnessed in your leagues?

My beloved A's started this season on a 40-4 tear. Cooled off a bit now to be 44-9 but boy was that fun while it lasted!

Yanks are killing it as well and just swept us 3-0.

In my current save, I had 3 wins in the first month (having 3 losing streaks of at least 7 games)

So, winning for me is little foreign lol.

I started a season 30-4 and got swept in a 3 game series to the Cubs. So outside of that, 30-1

Those are some fantastic starts! My May was just as nice as ym April.

Gets me worried though, because I feel success at the beginning of the season is inversely related to how my team does at the end

Over in my Rays save, they've started 2031 pretty well:

Some remarkable starts here!

In my observe-only fictional league: here are records win totals through various games to start the season.

None of the three unique teams listed managed to win the championship. San Francisco did win the year prior though.
