Proof that persistence pays off!!!

As you can see Ive played 10 seasons with Toronto.. Had great records and still couldn't finish in the playoffs. I won anywhere from 90 to 110 games year after year and not until my 9th year did I FINALLY win the WORLD SERIES!

But that's not the main example I have here...After my first championship with Toronto the owner died, and his son took over. According to his ratings he is "controlling" with the money so I wasn't too excited. Despite that I felt like I had an EVEN BETTER team the next year... but my pitching ended up being terrible and I became CRAZY FRUSTRATED because we were UNDER .500 for most of the season. Every player was getting hurt and I felt like saving it and heading to bed...

Record by month: 92-70 Overall
April: 10-12
May: 13-15
June: 15-13
July: 14-10
August: 17-10
September: 20-7
October: 3-3

But soon enough after a few trades and with enough time we came all the way from 10 games back to WIN THE DIVISION. I felt lucky as hell! When the playoffs came we were able to win the World Series AGAIN!.. I was shocked and the first thing I could think about was when I see a newer player complaining when they hit their first rough patch... THIS GAME IS SO GREAT but it messes with your head and you get way into it.. so.. KEEP putting in the work and you will eventually get rewarded! If not, well, sorry!

I noticed your attendance was down with a higher payroll the year after a World Series win. If I was the owner I'd have to fire you over that.
