Condolences to Seca, but a Legends plus Cup win by knor12 is for the record books! Both teams get showered with praise. Exciting stuff. | ||

JJNZ Joined: 12/09/2014 Posts: 1580 Yakima Monster III.3 | 3rd ever Legends/Cup double I think. The Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers were the first to achieve it in 2037 - congrats Belleville, that's an amazing season. The last team to have a 100 win season in Legends was Concord in 2056 with 107 wins. The other 100+ win seasons are: 2053 Texarkana (107) 2051 Texarkana (101), Concord (100) 2049 Boulder (103) (Never heard of ém), Birmingham (101) 2041 New York (108) 2040 Waterloo (100) 2036 Kalamazoo (100) 2030 Waterloo (100, RD +178), Birmingham (100, RD +154) 2026 Thunder Bay (100) 2022 Orlando (103) 2021 Thunder Bay (105), Orlando (101) 2020 Orlando (102) 2019 Thunder Bay (101), Orlando (103) 2017 Thunder Bay (105) 2016 Thunder Bay (104) 2014 Bay City (107) 2013 Starkville (101) 2012 Helena (102) 2011 Helena (101), Coconut Creek (115) 2008 Coconut Creek (102) 2007 Coconut Creek (110) 2006 Las Vegas (100), August (100) 2005 Las Vegas (112) 2004 Norman (110, RD +364) Las Vegas (110, RD +302) 2003 Las Vegas (115), Chesapeake (111) 2002 Las Vegas (121), Chesapeake (104) What I'm trying to show is that Waterloo has gone back to the early 2000's with the season he's had, and if Scranton hadn't played the rookies at the end of the season (completely understandable) he'd be in some pretty elite company with a 100 win season and nothing to show for it, it would have in fact been only the 3rd such occasion of a runner up to a division finishing with 100+ wins). Great season by all, if only my team was good enough to be able to make it back up top to compete.......... Updated Wednesday, March 27 2024 @ 4:07:38 pm PDT |

PrivateSnowflake Joined: 01/06/2015 Posts: 1160 Bloomington Thunder Legends | Congratulations, Belleview! JJNZ posted what I was about to: only three clubs have won the Cup and Legends in the same season. Kalamazoo in '37, Boulder (now Yakima) in '49, and now Belleview in '63. Still a heck of a run by Waterloo this decade. Don't worry, Seca. I think Steve's games have a Cinderella aspect to them (Hardwood being the other). The underdog gets a bone. Congratulations, knor12! |

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5194 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends | Thanks for the research JJNZ. Interesting stuff. Cheers to Belleville. We had low expectations for the series, and the outcome felt fated as the games unwound. Award season? Cy The end of August Mendez (WAT) was 20-2 with a 2.22 ERA. Looked like he had Cy all locked up, but was brutal in September and October. Still the front runner, but I think Ramirez (BLO) and his 14 CGs will make this race closer than it appears. MVP 3 co-winners of the batting title. Can't remember seeing that before. None of the 3 have much else going for them (HRs, SBs, ... White does have 109 RBIs). Leads me to think Berger (WAT) might be the front runner. Only 4 points back of the batting title, led the league in OPS. On HR and RBI leaderboards. Problem with Berger is that he is a C so his counting stats take a little hit. His .311 BA isn't as many hits as a non-C. Voters might like Kelly (SCR) better because of this. Rookie P Think it is between Rios (BLO) and Aiken (SUN). Rios has better numbers and I think is the favourite. But reliever vs. starter should make Aiken's accomplishments look a little better. Rookie Think the most impressive performance by a rookie this season was Leach (MPR). 3 hits, 2 HRs in just 10 ABs. Voters went with the small sample guy last season, but 10 ABs in unfortunately a microscopic sample. Think Barnett (URB) may be the front runner. But any of Orosco (SCR), Calhoun (WEL), Taylor (SUN) or Stahl (WFR) could get some votes. No real stand out candidate. |
