Just for fun, I calculated the same chart, but only including the last 12 seasons. Not sure how much weight (if any) should be put on seasons played many years (and many salary iterations) ago. I picked "12" seasons in order to make sure every franchise was selected at least three times (in order to remove the best & worst seasons).
