In theory, this record can be broken. But in reality there’s no way in hell. Too many teams, too many strikeouts these days, too many starting pitchers & relievers, & very few contact hitters in the game.

Al Spalding won 47 games for the 1876 Chicago White Stockings.
The team went 52 and 14 and won the first National League pennant ever. Seven years later the Phillies debuted at 17 and 81.
Spalding pitched in 61 of the 66 games. Chicago's .788 is the best first season any current franchise has had. The 1962 Mets, at 40 and 120, were only better than those Phillies.
Sounds like the bench rotation players are subpar as well if they can’t hold a 13 point lead against the @celtics rookie and “G” league squad.
Great poster, be sure you put the final score of the game somewhere in the poster with a caption that reads “beaten by the @celtics “G League” and rookie squad.” 😉
Yeah, I never want my team to lose, but they deserved to today with all the TO’s, poor tackling and bad Special teams play. It wouldn’t have been a “good” win if they pulled it out. It would have simply kept them undefeated, that’s all.
Big @UGAAthletics fan here. This was a total team loss. Offense, Defense, Special Teams, and the coaching staff all share equal blame for this loss. I know rivalry games, especially in the SEC, play different, but this loss in Athens is a “BAD” loss for the Dogs.
I thought so as well. I know it’s unlicensed, but the Big League Chew aspect is very nostalgic to me. I think that’s why I find them appealing. Did you get any good hits in the box?
“Extra steps” and “Carrying the Ball” unfortunately are part of the game now instead of part of the rules now. Every time down the floor the ball handlers “carry the ball”, their hands are completely under the basketball.
Bagwell couldn’t move to DH, the Astros were in the NL until 2012 and the DH wasn’t available in the NL until 2022. 🤦🏻♂️ Come on AI, do better. Baseball Mind > AI. @MLB @MattMcDevitt21
But the @sixers lost to a bunch of rookies and D league players with their starting 5 and full bench. Embarrassing at the least.
609 Homers, 3 seasons with 60+ homers and 4 consecutive years with 50 or more homers. Where’s Slammin’ Sammy Sosa? 🧐
