I went 159-3 (Grade A+) in 162-0. Can you build a roster that goes undefeated? 162-0.net @twostrikenoise.bsky.social You're going to be obsessed with this. I've been at it for at least half an hour already.

That said, Jack Chesbro also had great @mlb.com moments, too - like this 14 game winning streak in 1904. Chesbro had learned and mastered the spitball and turned it into his greatest weapon. Andrew Harner has this tale. sabr.org/gamesproj/ga...

Meet Bob Wood. Bob played for Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Detroit between 1898 and 1905. He played every position but pitcher. I used him for the first time today, and I want to see how quickly he can reach my Top 16 (it currently takes 17 uses). www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wo...
