Determining the Greatest Team of All-Time (considering all 3329 teams)

[msc123123]

Seeding Round League 16

Settings year:
1981 without DH

Highlights:
The rich get richer as the fifth team from the Dodgers franchise makes the top 300. The 1962 Los Angeles Dodgers beat the 1996 Atlanta Braves in 5 games to claim the championship. The Dodgers were led by Cy Young winning pitcher Sandy Koufax. Babe Herman (1930 Brooklyn Robins) not only took home the MVP, but has the distinction of being the closest player yet to a triple crown. Herman led the league in both AVG and HRs, however he finished 1 RBI short of leading the league in RBIs. The man who beat him for most RBIs, Glenn Wright, was not only on his team, but batted after him in the line-up. The 1885 Philadelphia Athletics advanced to round 2, making them the 10th team from the American Association to make it out of the first round. Earning the final spot in Round 1 was the 2006 Atlanta Braves after they defeated the 2006 Chicago Cubs in 6 games in the play-in final. These two teams met for two series in 2006 and the Braves came out on top 6-1 so the result was fitting.

MVP:
1. Babe Herman (1930 Brooklyn Robins) – .375/32/116/8.0 612 (35)
2. Mike Griffin (1894 Brooklyn Grooms) – .318/13/74/10.5 461 (11)
3. Maury Wills (1962 Los Angeles Dodgers) – .309/8/80/9.1 353 (1)

Note: The other first place votes went as follows:
2 to Christy Mathewson (1910 New York Giants) who finished 2nd in Cy Young voting, had .7 batting WAR, and finished 10th in MVP voting

Cy Young:
1. Sandy Koufax (1962 Los Angeles Dodgers) – 20-8/2.06/196/8.0 239 (21)
2. Christy Mathewson (1910 New York Giants) – 20-8/1.99/154/7.2 220 (17)
3. Mort Cooper (1943 St. Louis Cardinals) – 18-7/2.00/162/8.7 208 (10)

Note: The other first place votes went as follows:
1 to Tom Seaver (1971 New York Mets) who had 7.7 WAR and finished 4th in Cy Young voting

Overall Stat:
Top 5 in Black Ink to date:
1. Babe Ruth – 23 in 6 seasons
2. Babe Herman – 18 in 6 seasons
3. Guy Hecker – 16 in 3 seasons
4. Gus Weyhing – 14 in 6 seasons
5. Jimmie Foxx – 14 in 6 seasons
A note: IMO, black ink does not do a great job for pitcher quality in this environment. The two pitchers in the top 3, are winning categories by pitching 100+ more innings than anyone not on their team. Black ink awards points IP, CG, G, and GS. All of these would be a sign of a good pitcher who teams are giving a lot of playing time in a normal league. In this format, those points all go to a pitcher on a team with only 2 or 3 pitchers. Because of this black ink can be a misleading metric so I’ve included this disclaimer.

Seeding Round League 17

Settings year:
1902

Highlights:
The finals for league 17 featured 2 dominant teams. The 1896 Baltimore Orioles and the 1943 New York Yankees both took their league’s pennant but, in the finals, it was the Orioles over the Yankees in 6 games. This win is particularly noteworthy because the 1896 Baltimore Orioles are a 19th century team that is now defunct. This is the first of the final 300 spots to go to a team that is not one of the 30 current MLB teams. Four teams from non-AL/NL teams also advanced out of the round (1889 St. Louis Browns, 1890 Louisville Colonels, 1925 Kansas City Monarchs, 1940 Philadelphia Stars). MVP winner Ray Caldwell (1918 New York Yankees) will be only the 2nd MVP winner to not be able to defend his title as the team missed 24th in the standings on a tiebreaker. Our last in team was the 1969 Washington Senators after they defeated the 1990 Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 in game 7.

MVP:
1. Ray Caldwell (1918 New York Yankees) – .399/8/94/6.1 (and 4.7 pitching WAR) 635 (40)
2. Hughie Jennings (1896 Baltimore Orioles) – .370/0/58/10.3 415 (6)
3. Shoeless Joe Jackson (1912 Cleveland Naps) – .378/2/94/9.4 393 (1)

Note: The other first place votes went as follows:
2 to Scott Stratton (1890 Louisville Colonels) who finished 2nd in Cy Young voting, had 6.4 batting WAR, and finished 6th in MVP voting

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.

MVP:
1. Josh Donaldson (2013 Oakland Athletics) – .335/17/91/10 650 (42)
2. Leon Roberts (1981 Texas Rangers) – .344/11/83/9.2 471 (7)

Seeding Round League 19

Settings year:
1949

Highlights:
The final of league featured the final between the two teams with the most combined wins to date. That’s because the 1891 Boston Reds (112 wins) and the 1934 New York Yankees (106 wins) both had more wins than any team prior to league 19. When the dust settled, the 1934 New York Yankees were victorious in 5 games. Ed Morris (1884 Columbus Buckeyes) became only the unanimous 7th Cy Young winner. Morris’s 11.7 WAR was the most to date of any pitcher with less than 50 starts. The 1916 Boston Red Sox met a similar fate as the 1918 Boston Red Sox, not even making it to Round 1 after losing in the first round of the play-in bracket. They are the fourth World Series winning team to be eliminated. The 2000 Philadelphia Phillies earned the final spot through the play-in. In true last chance fashion, they won all three of their series in 7 game series where they came from behind to win in game 7.

MVP:
1. Tom Brown (1891 Boston Reds) – .380/15/111/10.5 665 (45)
2. Cristobal Torriente (1920 Chicago American Giants) – .357/25/127/8.1 330
3. Kid Madden (1891 Boston Reds) – .338/19/103/5.6 (and 4.5 Pitching WAR) 325

Note: The other first place votes went as follows:
1 to Lou Gehrig (1934 New York Yankees) who led the league with 43 HRs and finished 4th in MVP voting
3 to Ed Morris (1884 Columbus Buckeyes) who won the Cy Young and finished 7th in MVP voting

Cy Young:
1. Ed Morris (1884 Columbus Buckeyes) – 25-12/2.8/177/11.7 343 (49)

Seeding Round League 20

Settings year:
1991 with DH

Highlights:
Game 7 of the championship came down to the 1946 Brooklyn Dodgers and the 1902 Baltimore Orioles. The Dodgers took advantage of being at home to win the final 12-7. They become the sixth team from the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise to earn a spot in the final 300. Preacher Roe (1945 Pittsburgh Pirates) took home the 8th unanimous Cy Young award while leading his team to advance to the 2nd round. Colored World Series winners the 1926 Chicago American Giants and the 1943 Homestead Grays both failed to make it out of the seeding round. So far 6 of 11 Colored World Series winners have played and none have made it out, increasing the risk we will not see one of these teams in the top 300. However, two National Negro League teams did advance to the first round, the 1921 Kansas City Monarchs and the 1925 Chicago American Giants. The Monarchs earned their spot by sweeping the 1986 Pittsburgh Pirates in the play-in final, becoming the first Negro League team to win the play-in spot.

MVP:
1. Hank Aaron (1961 Milwaukee Braves) – .340/36/119/7.6 530 (22)
2. Josh Gibson (1943 Homestead Grays) – .358/27/116/7.8 438 (12)
3. Bill Salkeld (1945 Pittsburgh Pirates) – .324/37/121/7.5 318

Seeding Round League 21

Settings year:
1916

Highlights:
The 1950 St. Louis Cardinals sweep the 1886 Cincinnati Red Stockings in the finals to earn a spot in the top 300. They become the third St. Louis Cardinals team to book a spot in the top 300. The MVP award went to Denny Lyons (1887 Philadelphia Athletics) but this was the most open MVP race to date. In total, 9 players received at least one first place vote and Lyons only received 16 1st place votes despite winning. The World Series winning 1912 Boston Red Sox failed to make it out of the seeding round after going 72-72 and losing in the play-in final. The elimination shows how little OOTP seems to feel about the 1910s Boston Red Sox as three of their World Series winning teams have now failed to transfer. Beating them in the play-in finals to earn a spot in round 1 was the 2002 Philadelphia Phillies.

MVP:
1. Denny Lyons (1887 Philadelphia Athletics) – .351/3/62/7.7 456 (16)
2. Honus Wagner (1904 Pittsburgh Pirates) – .281/10/72/8.2 362 (10)

Seeding Round League 22

Settings year:
1958

Highlights:
The New York Mets looked primed to earn their first spot in the top 300 when the 1986 New York Mets went up 3-1 on the 1910 Pittsburgh Pirates. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be as the Pirates won the next 3 games to win the series in 7. The 1910 and 1911 Pirates have earned the distinction of being the first consecutive team to both earn a spot in the top 300. Another league highlight was Roy Parnell (1927 Birmingham Black Barons), who became the 2nd Negro League player to win the MVP, leading the league in AVG, RBI, and WAR. Unfortunately, his good season was not enough to propel Birmingham, as they failed to advance going 72-75. The Cy Young winner, Hal Newhouser (1948 Detroit Tigers) also failed to advance, making this the first league where neither the MVP nor the Cy Young winner advance. The final spot went to play-in winner 1960 Philadelphia Phillies who swept the 1887 Chicago White Stockings.

MVP:
1. Roy Parnell (1927 Birmingham Black Barons) – .400/41/141/12.9 635 (39)
2. Jonny Lindell (1948 New York Yankees) – .391/34/117/9.4 466 (6)

Note: The other first place votes went as follows:
2 to Rogers Hornsby (1923 St. Louis Cardinals) who had 9.9 WAR and finished 4th in MVP voting

Cy Young:
1. Hal Newhouser (1948 Detroit Tigers) – 18-12/2.06/193/9.2 325 (42)

Another MLB Franchise has guaranteed themselves a spot in the top 300. The 1951 Cleveland Indians had one of the most impressive playoff performances to date losing only 1 game total in all 3 of their series on the way to the title. The 1937 New York Yankees, the only World Series team in this league, were the only team to take a game off Cleveland in the playoffs, losing in the semifinal. The 1923 Indianapolis ABCs and the 1933 Homestead Grays both made it out of the seeding round, adding to the total number of Negro League teams advancing. The play-in spot was one by the 1989 Minnesota Twins, who defeated the 1974 Texas Rangers in 6 games.

Seeding Round League 24

Settings year:
1992 with no-DH

Highlights:
League 24 was the closest season to date. The difference between the #1 seed and not even making the playoff to determine the top 300 spot was only 4 wins. In the end, the 2013 Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the 2021 Los Angeles Dodgers in 6 games to earn the spot. This is noteworthy because the World Champion 2013 St. Louis Cardinals were also a part of the league but they fell to the Dodgers in 7. Eppa Rixey (1923 Cincinnati Reds) won the Cy Young, making them the first player to win the Cy Young in multiple leagues. Rixey earned the award despite only 18 first-place votes. For MVP, Zoilo Versalles (1964 Minnesota Twins) became only the third player to win a unanimous MVP award. The final spot in Round 1 went to the play-in winner, the 2005 Minnesota Twins, who defeated the 1981 Seattle Mariners in 5 games.
