 Following yet another 100+ win second place finish for the franchise, I went through and did a bit of digging. …Okay, a lot of digging. Like, through every team’s histories (except for the Maple League and PAC-12 League). Here are a few noteworthy things I came up with:

» Best single season win record: Augusta Trojans — 131 (2001)
» Most 100+ win seasons: North Brunswick Ninjas — 13 (2001-2008, 2011, 2016, 2019, 2027, 2032)
» Most consecutive 100+ win seasons:North Brunswick Ninjas — 8 (2001-2008)
» Best second place season win record: Bradenton Yankees — 117 (2020)
» Most 100+ win second place seasons: Deerfield Beach Rats — 7 (2001, 2021-2023, 2025-2026, 2033)
» Most consecutive 100+ win second place seasons: Deerfield Beach Rats — 3 (2021-2023)

 Also worth mentioning is one I wasn’t necessarily specifically looking for but did stumble across: The 2007 Antioch Aliens team had 104 wins and finished third.

 (And yes, I realize that a lot of these teams had different names when some of this happened. I’m using the current team name for the sake of simplicity.)

Like somebody wrote you on your league board, this team is cursed :)

Impressive work digging through 756 team histories to catch some interesting facts. Most of those records have no chance of being broken anywhere outside of LL VI though.

Thank you for the research! Always nice to have some extra historical stats for the game.

That's awesome you posted this, AP. Love the historical stuff.

Of course, this ensures you'll win your division next year with 86 wins and proceed to throw your keyboard through the wall ;)

That's some nice work!

I only have consecutive 100+ win second place seasons, hoping not to match you next season.

 Here’s a fun little point of comparison. There have been eight MLB second place finishes with 100+ wins, with the Dodgers being the only team to have had it happen twice. The Deerfield Beach Rats have almost as many 100+ win second place finishes on their own, and in barely a fourth as many seasons. x.@

Here's a challenge for the researcher: how many of those 100+ win seasons finishing 2nd happened in LL V or higher? LL VI accounts for half the pyramid, but I bet it accounts for far more than half of the 100+ win 2nd place finishes.

 Only one of my team’s was in V, admittedly; the rest were in VI. I’m sure that’s the case of the overwhelming majority of 100+ win second place finishes. I may dedicate a day later this week to another archive binge, as it were.

I have had one 100+ win second place season and it frustrated the heck outta me. I can't imagine what it must be doing to you.
