Did it again. 162-0. I think the secret is try to find a really good catcher in the beginning, and try to mix in power and .300+ batting averages:

C: Biggio
1B: Sisler
2B: Cano
3B: Ewing Russell (1920s Negro Leaguer who would have an awesome name for an NBA center).
SS: Witt
LF: Foster
CF: Mantle
RF: Winfield
DH: Mattingly

That’s impressive. I got down to 19 and that was bad.
 
My hot takes;

— it’s always cool when you can put someone like 1950s Hank Aaron at second or use 1930s Jimmie Foxx at catcher or 1980s Howard Johnson at short. It’s like a free spin.

— it’s maddening when you are down to your last spin and you get a 1969 expansion team. I had a squad I felt was close to 162-0 and pulled the 1960s Padres.

— for me, batting average always seems to ruin my perfect team. I’ll be 100 percent across the board, but at 97 or 98 for batting average.
 
This one shocked the hell out of me when it came up 162-0. Even with a great outfield, I didn't think there was nearly enough juice in the infield to get there.
