Arfy's Ramblings

All of these close divisions made me want to go back in time and do some research.  So that's what I did.  I asked myself two questions.  Here they are, with the answers

Q: What is the least amount of games that the 4th place team in a division  has finished in Pine Tar?

A: Season 17 AL EAST
Atlanta Red Tide     radkison     86-76     .531     -   
Chicago Wind Tunnel     skidmark *     83-79     .512     3.0   
Boston Pilgrims     kjmulli *     83-79     .512     3.0   
Durham Doormats     alogman1 *     79-83     .488     7.0    

Q: What is the closest that the top 3 teams have finished to one another

A:  The answer to this one is crazy!    In Season 2 there were 2 divisions(The AL EAST AND the AL SOUTH).  Both divisions had a tie for first place with the third place team being one game out of first place.  Check this out:

ML AL East
Washington D.C. Third Party Cand bpdelia *     90-72     .556     -    
Boston Red Sox                            jway11      90-72     .556     -    
Philadelphia Cheesesteaks             domiisgod *     89-73     .549     1.0    

ML AL South
Richmond Rich       eblake *     87-75     .537     -    
Tampa Bay Thunder     rxw1 *             87-75     .537     -    
Santa Fe Express     tj01536 *     86-76     .531     1.0    

So what this means is that Tampa Bay, even though they tied for first in the division, they did not even make the playoffs!  Wow!  Can you believe this?  How angry would you be?  I'd like to hear RXW1's recollection of this season.  Please share your story in the world chat for us!

I also thought it would be fun to examine Single Season records in this world and list them for everyone to see.   I also listed below each category, the current leader in our world in that category, plus the pace he is on for the season. Here are the top 5 in most major categories:
