#1 Light Year’s Ahead

Monterrey Stars

The Stars have been on a roll the last four years. Three World Series victories, four straight division championships, three different National League, MVP’s, two different National League Cy Young award winners, 14 players named an All-Star and they have won over 105 games each year. The sad part for the rest of the league is that it doesn’t look like the Star Juggernaut is going to stop anytime soon. So, congratulation to the Monterrey Stars for being named the USMLB number one franchise during the last seven seasons.

The total percentage of wins for the Stars is .613 (695 victories and 439 losses). The most wins in a single season were 114 during season five. The most losses in a season were 85 during season three.

Goldie1973 is entering his eighth season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 695-439 record for a .613 winning percentage. Goldie1973 has been the best manager since his team made it to the playoffs; winning three World Series in five trips is a great average. Goldie also has the best playoff record at 36-20 record with a .643 winning percentage.

#2 Missing that extra Vawt

Atlanta Brave Vawts

If there were no playoffs in the USMLB, the Brave Vawts would probably the greatest team the league has ever seen. They hold the league records for most victories for any club during the last seven years, every single season finishing with at least 90 victories and a league record five 100 win seasons. But then the American League Championship game comes, where the team has only advanced twice during there five tries. Each time the Brave Vawts have made it to the World Series the Monterrey Stars stood in there path and have been beaten both times in a close seven game series during season five and a quick sweep during season seven. There’s no question that the Brave Vawts are one of the best run teams in the league, we just have to hope one day a World Series victory will be in there future as well. FACE!!!!

The total percentage of wins for the Brave Vawts is .624 (708 victories and 426 losses). The most wins in a single season were 117 during seasons four. The most losses in a season were 72 during season one.

Vawt is entering his eighth season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 708-426 record for a .624 winning percentage. Vawt has the most victories for any manager in the league and also holds as the third most victories in the playoffs with 33 even though he also has 36 losses during the playoffs for the most in the league. Vawt also seems to motivate his players when ever another team from the American League East tries to make run the division crown and at the end of the year they have a nice double digit lead.
