#32 Always Waiting for Next Season

Jacksonville Raiders

Painful is the one word that describes the Jacksonville Raiders during the last seven years. The team has never posted a winning season, finishing in last place in the American League South for the last six years and losing over 100 games in three seasons.

The total winning percentage for the Raiders is .383 (434 victories and 700 losses). The most wins in a single season was 75, during the first season and the only one not in the cellar; the most losses in a season is 113 (the third highest in league history).

Deerhunter is entering his sixth season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 294-516 record for a .363 winning percentage. The fans in Jacksonville have been very patient with this team so far. Only time will tell how long the fans’ patience will last before they get to see a winning season.
