#17 The Gateway through the East

St. Louis Cornerstone

The Cornerstone always seems to one of the youngest teams in the division every year but that hasn’t slowed down the winning from this team. Three out of the last four years the team has won the division and making the playoffs for the last four years. The Cornerstone has become the elite team in the National League East, no matter what people say about the division.

The total percentage of wins for the Cornerstone is .501 (568 victories and 566 losses). The most wins in a single season was 94 during season four. The most losses in a season being 103 during season one.

Kk73 is entering his seventh season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 509-463 record for a .524 winning percentage. Kk73 has done a great job getting young talent in the Cornerstone organization since the begging and it has really paid off with two straight division championships.

#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
