Despite it only going five games, the series was actually one of all tight games (one or two-run differences), so Quincy just missed in making this a deeper series or outright winning it.
For the champions and Sole Survivor Series history:
Ten teams have won the 17 official championships (2298-2314) with only four multi-championship teams. Right now, Oberland is the only team to have lost multiple SSSs (two) without winning one. Well, they did win it in 2297, but it doesn't count in the official championship list now. Easy Town, and then the last three runners-up--Vault 81, Nahant, and Quincy--are the other four teams to have made it to the Sole Survivor Series but never won.
So, there is still a long list of SSS "virgins" that are not the four expansion teams. The complete list of those never there are Cambridge, Concord, Egret, FHE, Glowing Sea, Jamaica Plain, Lexington, Malden, Salem, Southie, Spectacle Island (Warwick), Starlight, and Sunshine Tidings. |
Thanks for this! I knew there weren't many repeat champs, but with the 'Boys doing what they did I knew there had to be a lot of teams still without a title. The Red Rockets for one, though I didn't realize Vault 81. I guess they make the playoffs so often I just assumed they did lol. They really fumbled this one and in the CBO you can go from great to awful in an instant. Just look at Roxbury
What is cool though is how all the "original" teams have made the playoffs at least twice, and most four or more.
Glad you're getting everything backed up though ahead of time. Selfishly I never want this to end! Better be cautious now. I lost one of my old dynasties when one of my old laptops went out. Worst part is I knew it was on it's last leg, but it was one of those "oh I'll do it tomorrow" type things and then it was too late. Wish I had advice on the desktop situation, need to eventually get one myself, as they're just so much more stable. And if you like to game it makes such a big difference
I'm with you on the weather though. I was at a Vandy baseball game yesterday and it was in the 40s with wind chill in the 20s. Going again tomorrow and while it should be nicer, I'm still a bit nervous. Worth it for baseball I always say, but I'm ready for it to start feeling like spring again!
