#18 Looking to get off the Ground



Burlington Bombers

The Bombers have been able to stay consistent through out there history, even with the influx of different managers each season. The team has only won one American League North Division crown and on the flip side they have only been in last place once. I think this season all the different managers will finally catch up to them and a rebuilding season looks to be under way.

The total percentage of wins for the Bombers is .479 (543 victories and 591 losses). The most wins in a single season was 87 during season four. The most losses in a season being 97 during season three.

Brooklynpunx is entering his first season as the general manger of the franchise. Brooklynpunx has never managed a team before so it would be interesting to see if where he can take this team

Future Outlook: Rebuilding

Playoff Appearance: Three
Division Championship: One
World Series Victory: None
All-Stars: 5
Awards: 2 Silver Slugger/ 5 Gold Gloves
