These wouldn't qualify for most wins ever by a team but the number of teams with high win totals is unusual. I'm not seen this before. The only setting change I've made from past games is to reduce trading. Since I use free agency (game started 1951) I hoped to keep more players on their historical teams by restricting trading. Its possible this shows teams with good farm systems got the short end on trades. Insufficient data, of course.
I am surprised at Pittsburgh (my team). I have a self imposed payroll limit. Not strict but expected to be around half way rank. And the team lost 12 players in the pre 1961 draft and another 7 in the pre 1962 draft. I used the standard 15 protected per team and no limit on the number of selections from a single team.
Note the first one is AL 162 games and NL 154 games and that the NL season is over but OOTP doesn't calculate the magic number correctly.
