SDMB Historical Anomalies / One Run Games

Again, this is based on 2003-07 data.

Best One Run Games Record
1. Seattle 2005: 36-15 (.706)
2. Houston 2004: 28-16 (.636)
3. Hickory 2007: 29-17 (.630)
The Hickory 2007 performance is quite remarkable against their 80-82 record and helps explain why they outperformed their Pythagorean projection by eight games. Seattle's record so far this year in one run games is 35-15.

Worst One Run Games Record
1. Houston 2007: 12-28 (.300)
2. Kingston 2003: 15-29 (.341)
3. Danville 2007: 12-22 (.353)
All three of these performances, bad as they are, are better than the teams' winning percentage in that season.

Most One Run Games
1. Stockholm 2005: 63 (35-28)
2t. Denver 2005 and Brooklyn 2005: 60 (31-29 and 30-30 respectively)
Much like 2005 had the most extra inning games, by a fair margin, it also had the most one run games, by a big margin. Strange year.

Fewest One Run Games
1. Hickory 2004: 32 (18-14)
2. Walla Walla 2007: 37 (21-16)
3. Florida 2007: 38 (21-17)
Denver has only 34 one run games so far this year (15-19).

1. 1,330 games out of the 4,376 played from 2003 to 2007 were one run games. That's 30.3%.
2. Stockholm/Florida/South Bay has the best all-time winning percentage at .555 (132-106), although Seattle may pass them after this year. Covington/Michigan has the worst at .454 (89-107).
3. The best performance in one run games, compared to overall record, was Hickory in 2004. Hickory was 18-14 in one run games (.563) and 41-89 in all others (.315).
4. The worst performance compared to overall record was Saskatoon 2007 with a 26-28 record in one run games (.481) and 75-33 in all others (.694).
5. Brooklyn has played the most one run games, 261 (123-138).
6. The fewest are Kingston/Walla Walla with 218 (103-115) in five seasons (43.6/year) and Hickory with 172 (90-82) in four years (43/year).
7. New York (97-85, .533) and Hickory (90-82, .523), despite being expansion teams, have the third and fourth best all-time records in one run games. This year's performance may drop Hickory from that spot though.
