Surely such an unprecedented feat should bare the namesake of the man who accomplished it?
I'm all for this. We've all fantasized about accomplishing this feat. I think we should all honor the single owner over all of these years that has actually done it

it was quite the lucky run, wonder if it will be matched again this tournament

some numbers from it:

- outscored opponents 115-45
- six one run wins
- three shutouts
- four extra inning wins (all in the second cycle)
- two ninth inning comebacks

Five golden touques!
Four pounds of backbacon
Three French toast
Two turtlenecks
And a beer in a tree!

Respectfully submitted for approval...

Going 1-5 = A Uecker. (.167)

Going 2-4 = A Mendoza. (because you made it over .200)

A name for every possible outcome of a cycle would be fun.

I'll submit:

4-2 = A Smoke (since you did technically go 4-2-0)

A bit of a reach I know, but I find it humorous!

This year's new term:

"DHo", preferably said in Homer Simpson voice, with accompanying facepalm.

Definition: The expression uttered when you have spent hours building the perfect team for one of the themes, tweaking everything to get it just right, confident that you have a winner, and then you go back and re-read the theme rules and see "DH: Yes".

This is closely related to "Merkle", see a couple of posts above. The crucial distinction being that "DHo" implies you caught the mistake before the season started. "Merkle" means you didn't...
be careful of this one for the 2022 Round 1 themes
