Dodger stadium. Wanted to eliminate XBH as much as possible. Vince Coleman still managed to hit 15 triples and 24 doubles

Any time a record is broken, that should be a cause for celebration....a great achievement. When you look at some of the others, I dont believe those were legitimately "managed" teams.

Most of the ones listed as current are a joke and unrealistic and obviously achieved solely for the purpose of setting a record. Stack some teams and create other weak ones just to pad stats. Elbirdo may be the best owner ever here but when you look at theme league records and 1953 Ted Williams had 35 hrs in a single game. Not crazy enough for you? Then consider he only batted 117 times in RL. I often use Ted as a PH in high cap leagues. So are we too believe he just randomly started one game? Guarantee that one game ruined him for an entire season but I would also guess that was no accident.

ChargingRyno's accomplishment above appears legit. He clearly built that team for speed and played in a real league.

Yeah, I kinda wish they would reset all the records. Although I would hate to see these marks disappear ha

I'm a newbie here (2nd season in) but I find teams like this ... .distasteful. There was a similar one in my league that was probably trying to set the sb record as well as it had many of the same players. It too played in Dodger stadium (for probably the same reasons) and did fairly well ...in fact ... it finished just behind me in fifth place overall in the league ... two games out of the wild card.
I ... along with other good teams ... did fairly well against it ... including a sweep in the final two weeks of the season ... as Yogi Berra with his A plus arm largely neutralized the speed.
Maybe I'm old fashioned .. .but this is just too gimmicky and unrealistic. 26 steals in a game? Come on man. 209 in a season? Inconceivable!
I don’t play this game to replay what already happened. I can read newspapers if I wanna know how many SB are conceivable. I don’t think we have any idea what’s “inconceivable”, because a team like this has never existed in RL. It’s no different than putting Babe Ruth in Coors field and watching him hit 90hr.

It’s not inconceivable, it’s whatifsports.

you really wouldn’t have liked my Rickey, Raines, and Coleman walk into camp team. Talk about gimmicky!
