Until this week, my team only won the Rookie league the first season after launch.
Since then, I have had teams with 119 (Stone), 100 (Iron), 93 (Bronze), 111 (Silver), and 107 (Silver) wins fail to become champions, but my least deserving team finally did it...

Yes, the playoffs are crazy in PT. Two weeks ago, my latest team went 140-22 in Rookie league and was swept in the Division Series by a Wild Card that ended up getting promoted after making the World Series. They did this by beating another division winner that finished 142-20.
Every time someone brings this up, someone else compares it to the LA Dodgers. Difference is that the Dodgers don't come anywhere near this level of domination. It's not at all like the Dodgers and more like Major League teams facing Rookie Ball teams. The team mentioned did not lose three straight games all season but lost all three playoff games.
Good news is that they again steamrollered Rookie league last week and lost only three total playoff games while winning the World Series. Additional good news is that another week in Rookie pulled in 100,000 PP in achievement awards and allowed me to complete the Negro League set in time for this week's foray into Stone league.
