This can be a bit misleading since owners have changed and some people have taken over teams as we've gone, but better than nothing. Ordering this by win percentage

It's a bummer we couldn't get deathy back this year- he has rocked this league, with 2 titles and a .669 (he'd like that) winning rate. Also finished in the top 3 three times, finishing 4th in our first year and 5th in our third year. Can't get much better than that

Shoutout to Gum too, leading the league in wins and finishing in the top 3 every year but this past one when he finished 5th. On the other had we have Bam who has a very similar win rate, but has managed to finish in the top 3 just once, and no titles. Bam, your squad needs more finishers!

Homerun's story is interesting too- Middle of the pack overall at a little bit over .500, but three top 3 finishes and two bottom 3 finishes. Not a bad way to go about it, just found it interesting!

Looking at how I've fared, it's actually better than I thought. I had a middling team for the first 2 years while I learned how to play fantasy baseball quite honestly, and I spent way too much time drafting with my heart instead of my mind. I'm still haunted by trading Mookie for Buxton prior to year 1 starting :sad: After about year 2 I decided to completely tear it all down and start a big rebuild. Last year I started reaping the benefits of that and have gotten into a pretty good spot in the future. I'll be looking to start a new era moving forward

Lastly, gotta say it's pretty crazy we've had this league for 5 years now. It's been an awesome time and I've really enjoyed this. Thanks to everyone that's been a part of it, no matter if it's been 1 year or 5! Fantasy baseball has become one of my favorite hobbies, and a large part of that is thanks to this league

Love it. I'd bet at least half of my losses were to Bam. He's kryptonite to me. Welcome new guys! Looking forward to a fun season.

Also, this is pretty crazy -- Identical records after 5 years.

5. 7jacfire 60-46 (5 years), .566
6. 88UDKidGriff 60-46 (5 years), .566
7. Homerun 60-46 (5 years), .566

[Homerun]

My team was really good in the beginning of this league. The last two years have been rough, but hopefully I should at least be competitive once again this year. I find it absolutely crazy that Bam hasn’t won a single championship considering he’s had one of the best teams in the league the whole time.

[Hollywood42]

Just 1 top three finish for Bam is ridiculous. Such awful luck in the postseason

By the way, how the in the heck did we let him get Trout, Harper, Freeman, Bryant, Correa, Alonso, and Goldschmidt? That's a bit ridiculous
