[No proper update today, as I was tired today and I’m still tired, and I just want to watch the Mets and then fall over… - but here’s some bits about the questions above]

The Aces actually have fewer regular season wins than the Wolves, but those three together are very much the worst teams in league history. However, the Miners are the one franchise that has never won a title despite 18 playoff appearances. Even those bottom three teams managed to each scratch at least two rings together.

The Titans are tops in runs won with 11 (might be 12 soon), and the CL North is stacked in also having the second- and third-winningest team in titles, the Crusaders (9) and Raccoons (8), respectively. In total the division has 35 of 89 World Series titles, each team getting at least a pair.

The worst Raccoons team by record came in 1979, the only team to lose triple digits, going 55-107. That team batted only .234, which was a bane of the early-day Critters (not that pitching was a-plenty…), while the current team’s .244 mark is the worst since the 2000 season, which was squat in the middle of the prolonged-worst version of the Raccoons, the 1997-2006 “Decade of Darkness” Coons, that grew out of the collapse of 1997, when the team went from 108 wins in ’96 (their best ever mark) to a suffocating 68 wins, and then didn’t get back to even 80 wins for a full ten years. Although there have also been other terrible teams, like 2032, the year where nobody could throw a pitch that wasn’t getting hammered. That team had a franchise-worst 4.68 ERA. A few of the Decade of Darkness teams came close to that, and this year we’re at a vomit-inducing 4.53, bound to be the fourth-worst ERA for any season by the Raccoons.

We have not been through even three consecutive losing seasons in over 30 years (getting bailed out by an 81-81 in year three once there), the last teams to be under .500 for that long being the 2030-32 Raccoons. Since then, only the 2052 Coons finished last in the North. We’re also currently 33 1/2 games out of first place, which would also be the biggest deficit since that 2032 season that keeps cropping up, when the Raccoons were 34 games out of first place. Worst-ever? 39 games back in 1979 and 2004, although in 2004 we didn’t even finish bottoms. The Titans just happened to choke out the division with a 117-45 record.

That’s that for now. If you want more stats, just do a squeak. Let’s see you with the Arrowheads tomorrow.
