Here's a 98 win team with (4) 23+ game winners ....

Best record in the league, best run differential in the league, best pythagorean record in the league. Which of course sadly means that they crapped down their pants leg in the semis like most of my teams.

Here's a team with a super rare combination of a 30+ game winner, 3 more 20+ game winners, and all 4 pitchers being lefties:

Some of you may have already seen this team in another post. I've been playing the online SOM ATG game for more than 10 years and never had a non-theme league team at $140 mil that performed like this one.

When a team averages about 8 runs a game in a non-theme league, it would be hard NOT to have 4 20 game winners. The rest of the league COMBINED only produced 4 other 20 game winners.

Here's a link to the team:

Here's a link to the league:

https://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/450310

Here's some links to league stats pages:

https://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/l ... /all/ops/1
https://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/l ... son/450310

The team checked a lot of boxes:

1. Ring winner;
2. Led league with a 109-53 W-L record. Only the 4 playoff teams finished above .500;
3. 60 home wins and 49 road wins to lead the league in both categories. Just 3 teams were above .500 on the road;
4. 1344 runs to easily lead the league;
5. +384 run differential to easily lead the league;
6. 536 home runs to easily lead the league;
6. .310 team batting average to easily lead the league;
7. .384 team OBP to easily lead the league;
8. .648 team slugging to easily lead the league;
9. 1.032 team OPS to easily lead the league;
10. All 9 hitters in the starting lineup had 106 or more RBI, with a high of 198, & the average being 144;
11. All 9 hitters in the starting lineup scored 132 or more runs, with a high of 165 & the average being 146;
12. All 9 hitters in the starting lineup had 47 or more HRs, with a high of 79 & the average being 59;
13. All 4 starting pitchers won 20 or more games, with a high of 29;
14. Just 4 blown saves all season & was the only team in the league to have 5 times as many saves (20) as blown saves;
15. Just 3 caught stealing all season, but only 16 SBs.

The only player in the starting lineup who wasn't taken in the autodraft was Ralph Kiner, who was picked up when another manager dropped him during waivers.

Also, with nearly 400 teams, I'd never seen a triple crown winner in any of my leagues. But with just 6 games left in the season I realized that Josh Gibson was leading the league in the triple crown categories, which I didn't think any player could ever accomplish in a $140 mil non-theme league. Gibson hung on to win the triple crown at .374 79 198. Gibson also led the league in runs, total bases, slugging and OPS, and finished second to teammate John Beckwith in hits, 239-238. For his efforts Gibson also ran away with the MVP award with 420 votes and was the playoff MVP as well.

For what it's worth, of his 721 plate appearances, just 27.7% were against lefties, with the usual average being somewhere between 30-35%. However, Gibson mauled lefties all season, batting .475 with 37 HRs, an OBP of .572 and slugging of 1.315 in just 162 ABs.

Thanks for reading folks!
