What historical teams to add to make 32?

daves · 08-05-2018, 09:28 AM

I enjoy the new historical exhibition update to make tournaments. More specifically, I like the round robin. I plan on taking various seasons and just have a round robin tournament, however, MLB has 30 teams not 32. 32 is ideal for a tournament, but who should I add. The 2 worst teams in baseball history? But who should that be. Or there are cities like Montreal that no longer have a team. What two historical 2 teams would be good to add to a tournament for let's say the 2016 season?

The way I see it, there are 4 teams since 1950 which have relocated and changed their nickname. Montreal Expos and Washington Senators are the last two. So I would do the last year for each of these two teams.

2004 Expos
1971 Senators

Or if you want to have a one game play-in. Add these two and play away.

1969 Seattle Pilots
1953 St Louis Browns

Thanks. Montreal Expos make sense since they no longer have a team. St. Louis Browns and Seattle Pilots are good choices, but they currently have teams.

But what other historical cities had a team and currently does not have one?

Altoona Mountain Citys - 1884
Buffalo Bisons - 1914-1915
Brooklyn Gladiators - 1890, and Tip-Tops - 1914-1915, I guess Dodgers too.
Indianapolis Hoosiers - 1887-1889
Kansas City Cowboys - 1884-1889
Louisville Grays - 1876-1877
Providence Grays - 1878-1885
Syracuse Stars - 1879, and 1890
Troy Trojans - 1879-1882

Ok, tired of typing.

Thanks.

Unfortunately the historical exhibition does not go before 1900's and does not include the Federal league.

The only other team which would fit this description would be the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Kansas City has the Royals.

Yes, but the Kansas City Athletics were not good and Brooklyn was. I want bad teams to add to make 32.

Who are the worst teams in MLB history? I want to add teams that can't make it out of the 1st round.

If that's the case, why not just give a bye to your top two seeds and keep it a field size of 30?

Round Robins have to have 32 teams.

Ah ok, hadn't messed around with tournaments yet.

crawdad5000 · 08-12-2018, 06:51 PM

Here are the 4 worst as far as losses. Just pick two teams and change their city and/or nickname. They aren't going to make it past the first round anyway.

Modern era (1900–present)
Season Franchise Losses
1916 Philadelphia Athletics 117
1935 Boston Braves 115
1962 New York Mets 120
1904 Washington Senators 113
