1901-2021 Alternate History Replay

I just finished a simulation starting in 1901 and running through 2021. It seems to have come out pretty good, so I thought I'd share the results as I discover what happened in this alternate reality! I pretty much kept everything with defaults. I did have a draft occur, so players will be on all different teams based on who drafted them in this world. In the quick look-ins I did, there were some pretty interesting teams that got put together.

First up, I thought I'd do a run-through of how each franchise fared as far as overall record, playoff appearances, etc. I'll go alphabetically, starting with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona Diamondbacks- Entered the league in 1998

Overall Record- 1878-2011 for a .483 winning percentage

Playoff Appearances- 8

World Series Championships- 0

Best Team- 97-65 in 2021

Atlanta Braves- Original Team (overall record goes back to 1871)

Overall Record- 11523-10683 for a .519 winning percentage
