Seeding Round League 18
Settings year:
1944
Highlights:
This is about as close we are going to get to a repeat championship. Coming off a championship for 1896 Baltimore Orioles, the 1894 Baltimore Orioles beat the 1975 Philadelphia Phillies in 5 games to earn a spot in the top 300. The defunct 19th century Baltimore Orioles team have now earned 2 spots in the final 300. This is while 22 current franchises have still failed to earn a spot. Another World Series winner has failed to make it out of the Seeding Round. The 1987 Minnesota Twins have the worst performance so far, going 55-86 and finishing 46th of 49 teams. The final spot in round 1 went to the 2013 Boston Red Sox, who won the play-in spot 4-1 over the 1960 Detroit Tigers.
