A Fun Follow Up

 
I always love stuff like this because they are fun questions to debate with friends.  I'm not sure how much I buy the accuracy of this simulation, or any simulation attempting to match teams from 100 years of baseball, but what do I know.  Anyways, the 1995 Cleveland Indians were the best loser of the World Series.  This does not come as a shock as they pushed what may be the second best team of the decade to 7 games, all of them close, and came up a bit short.  Little did they know they had a roster full of players who will land in the Hall of Fame or the Hall of Very Good.  The Indians would make it back in 2 years, only to lose to a stacked Marlins team, and then to the ALCS in 1998, where they were stomped out by the best team of the 1990's, the 1998 New York '125-win' Yankees.  Wow, almost as unlucky as that 2nd best team and the teams that followed and came before for the franchise that got screwed big time during my formative years...The Atlanta Braves.
