Boston, Oakland, and Brooklyn all hit new lows since I posted this after the 1994 season.
The Black Sox and Skyscrapers each posted new highs for their respective owners. Congratulations!

I have a bone to pick with my franchise worst. I would technically say it wasn't in 82 because that was the season I picked up the team as an abandoned team and there was little more than a month and a half on it to play when i signed on.

Fair enough. I'll adjust soon. The Owner Card doesn't give exact dates so I have to go by what I see there. Thanks for the heads up.

no problem, it's just one of those things where i see it credited o my owners card and i want to say, but its not my team for the full season....
and if that's my only problem, I'm doing rather well.

Brooklyn and Pittsburgh set new franchise lows last season, and welcome once again to vickiroepke!

Thanks for reminding me. It's always nice to see our "achievements" faithfully documented. GRRRRR.....
Oh...well I guess winning a few games would have solved that problem.

The Diamonds tied their franchise best Win record this season, and Lawman23 and his Pythons reached new heights ... but the rest of the news is not so good.
The Green Sox set a new record for futility, and Oakland sunk to a new low as vickiroepke continued his rebuild, but not as low as the franchise has seen. Washington tied their own team low for losses.
Outside of Pittsburgh's winning effort, no other news out of the National League - not even San Diego could match their previous worst though they did snag the first pick with the worst GGL team record this season.

Really only one new mark set this season. Congrats to vickiroepke!
ballmark
March 16, 2014 at 03:06PM View BBCode
Don't know when this happened, but I see that "vickiroepke" has disappeared and been replaced by mrtwolff, who is - I'm guessing - the same owner who has since consolidated his teams under one name...?
At any rate, I updated the Oakland franchise entry to reflect this.
ballmark

A couple of new highs, as mrtwolff brought his club up over .500 for the first time in this league under his tenure ... congrats!
Also, Lawman23 took Pittsburgh to new heights, by a little, at least.
Sadly, daytonjake's Phantoms hit a new low this season as they went through their rebuild.

Come the end of 2001, Oakland set a new franchise record for mrtwolff. Meanwhile, Lawman23 tied for his best effort yet and Nick over in St. Louis suffered through the worst season of his tenure here.
Best of luck this OS and on into 2002!

Five new marks set this season, though Baltimore was bound to get one or the other, being the first year under a new manager.
Oakland and Pittsburgh had their best years ever under the current ownership, while St. Louis and Washington set or tied new lows.
Best of ABE to everyone in the OS and good luck in '03!!

Train tied his first-year record from last season, and - of course - Carl hit both new highs and new lows by being a first year manager in the league.
I, for one, certainly hope he stays!

Lots of updates this season in the GGL. Not only did Cincinnati move to Philly, but we played our very first season with a DynastyBot at the helm of a team.
Baltimore set a new low, though they were probably two runs scored away from breaking even ... and Philadelphia set a new league record for futility. Carl was only here two years but he left his mark on the GGL record books!
Lawman23 set a new highwater Win mark for his Pythons and made the playoffs in doing so and
congratulations to Mike and his Boston GREEN SOX for setting an All Time franchise Won-Lost record!

Another year of setting new highs and lows this season, with a couple new managers entering our roster of owners.
UP: Baltimore and Pittsburgh - congrats!
DOWN: St. Louis - better luck next year!
NEW: Horseradish and Arianah, with hopefully another new owner next year in NY-NL.

Updated both 2006 and 2007. Looks like all the action was in the NL the last two years. And, of course, Compton will be seeing some bold blue at the end of 2008, being his first year with us.
RIP Slimlizard. I hope and pray that everything is well in Ed's world.
[size=1][i]Edited to add:[/size][/i]
Also, I posted in support to add Milwaukee to the list of available teams, as Arianah hasn't checked in since the end of May. Hope that was okay....

I've grown tired of being reminded every season "highlighted in red" that my club had the worst record ever in the AL - how about giving me a break....

Well ... at least it's not the worst in the whole GGL! (Cold comfort, I know.) I'll take it off before the next update, Wedge.
