[USML Announce] Mining The Archives

[Richard Robbins]

Did you ever win without a co-pilot Brad?  Is it possible that some sort of
performance enhancing drug was involved?  C'mon Brad, fess up, it's just not
natural.

 

Looking at the log again, I realized this morning that except for your wild
run, we have never seen any team go back to back.  Not even the vaunted
Berliners.

 

Here's the log:

Intrigued by Andy's question, I started poking through the archives.

Here's what I found.

For seasons with 11 teams, the highest total is 102 (2006 Nukes) and the
biggest margin is 16 (2004 Nukes).

For seasons with 10 teams, the highest total is 90.5 (2002 Riptorns) and the
biggest margin is 15 (1996 Berliners).

For seasons with 9 teams (2000 and 2001) the highest total is 67 (2001
Nukes) and the biggest margin is 10.5 (2001 Nukes).

Thinnest victory margins: 1991 Klein Nine (zero, win by tie break).  The
1995 Red-Hots and 2007 Berliners each won by one-half point.

Longest gap between victories for teams with more than one win.  The Bombers
at 16 years.  If the Red-Hots win this year this particular honor will be
shared between the Bombers and Red-Hots.

All that is interesting, but what really counts is the number of crowns:

Berliners 6
Riptorns 5
Bombers 3
Nukes 3
Klein Nine 2
AYM 1
Daddies 1
Red-Hots 1

Longest winning run, the Riptorns, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and then 2002.
What the hell happened in 2001 Brad?

Other than that period, Jeff is the most consistent winner: 1990, 1992,
1996, 2003, 2007, and 2010.

Jeff and Brad cover 11 of the league's 22 seasons.  Wow.

I'm not sure if attachments work on this list, but I've tried to attach a
spread sheet that you may find fun.
