How a perfect baseball season works

Every round spins up one franchise era — a city and a window of years, back to 1871 — and lays out that squad with real season statistics on every card. You fill a full lineup and a rotation, twelve seats, then the 162-game season simulates: your roster’s era-fair ratings combine in a position-weighted team score. Win the complete regular-season schedule and you’ve done what no real team ever has.

Has a baseball team ever come close?

Not really. The most wins any team has ever posted is 116 — Seattle went 116-46 in 2001, Chicago 116-36 in 1906 — and even those lost three dozen games. A perfect 162-0 has never been remotely approached, which is what makes it the ultimate board to chase here.

Draft from a century and a half

The board runs from 1871 to today, city and years only, every player-season rated against its own era. Play the cross-sport perfect season game, or switch to the gridiron and build an undefeated NFL team. New here? Read how to play and how the ratings work.

Questions people actually ask

Has an MLB team ever had a perfect season?

Nowhere near one. A 162-0 season is unthinkable — the most wins any team has ever managed is 116, by Seattle at 116-46 in 2001 and Chicago at 116-36 in 1906, and both still lost dozens. A perfect baseball season is the ultimate what-if, which is exactly why this game hands it to you.

What would a perfect MLB season even be?

Winning all 162 regular-season games. No real team has come within forty games of it. In this game the board plays the complete schedule, wire to wire; win every game and the record reads 162-0.

How do I build an all-time MLB team?

Each round spins one franchise era — a city and a window of years, anywhere back to 1871 — and lays out that squad with real season statistics on every card. You fill a full lineup and a rotation, twelve seats, then the season simulates. Every lineup and rotation seat contributes.

Which eras can I draft from?

A century and a half — 1871 to today, city and years only. Dead-ball and modern eras are each rated against their own time, so no season gets an unfair edge over another.
