We’ve spent a lot of time yammering about the outcome determinative fifth place finish.
So, which team has the most fifth place finishes?
Here’s the list:
| Nukes |
6 |
| Brats |
4 |
| Rothman |
3 |
| Bombers |
2 |
| AYM |
1 |
| Berliners |
1 |
| Iowa-na-wins |
1 |
| Kleine Nine |
1 |
| LMC |
1 |
| Old Style |
1 |
| Red-Hots |
1 |
So how often does the fifth place finisher win it all the next year?
That has been the case only three times, one of which, I believe, pre-dates the preference in the rotation draft for the fifth place finisher.
Klein Nine in 1990/1991
Nukes 2000/2001 and then again 2003/2004
