The 275 Best Teams in MLB History

Sunday, December 27, 2020

 Through 2022.


I'm using pythagorean record with a bonus given for pennants and World Series wins; ELO, and a time adjustment.  All prior rankings are superseded by this one.  World Series era (1903-).  It's 275 to allow for a 256 team tournament, a play in for the 16th seed and the last 3 who didn't make it. Negro League teams have pythags, but not ELO rankings and are not included.
