ORIGINAL: jacmar I agree it is a nice game, and a good simulation, but not realistic. I played out some complete seasons, one being 1955 and 2 for 1919. In the 1919 seasons, which were actually won by the Redlegs and Whitesox, neither team was anywhere near the top. One of the replays actually had both teams finishing last. Im sorry, but that just isnt realistic. Its a fun game, and I would reccommend it for anyone who likes baseball. In a fictional way, its great. I just feel that if one played out a given season 100 times, maybe a couple of times the teams that actually won would finish first. Well, there's really only one way to find out. So, last night I set up a continuous replay of the 1955 season, and let it run unattended until the end of the 2054 season, giving us 100 years of data. I've uploaded the seasons page here: http://www.angrytree.com/puresim/seasons.html (I might upload the rest of the almanac at some point, but it weighs in at around 300MB). Here's a quick summary of what I found: The Yankees (96-58, AL Pennant winners in '55) won 43 pennants. Cleveland (93-61, 1 game back in '55) won 29 pennants. Boston (84-70, 12 games back in '55) won 20 pennants. The White Sox (91-63, 5 games back in '55) won 7 pennants. Detroit (79-75, 17 games back in '55) won 1 pennant. Kansas City, Baltimore, and Washington did not win any pennants. In the NL: Brooklyn (98-55, NL Pennant winners in '55) won 48 pennants. St. Louis (68-86, 30.5 games back in '55) won 31 pennants. Milwaukee (85-69, 13.5 games back in '55) won 12 pennants. The Giants (80-74, 18.5 games back in '55) won 7 pennants. The Cubs (72-81, 26.0 games back in '55) won 2 pennants. Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh did not win any pennants. In real life, the Dodgers beat the Yankees in 7 in the World Series. In the one hundred seasons played in the replay, the Dodgers and Yankees met in the series 19 times, with the Yankees coming out on top 11 to 8.
