I don't know where to verify this and even if I did, I'm too lazy to do so, but I remember hearing that no American League baseball team won more games during the 1980's than the KC Royals.

I think it was actually the Yankees, because Steinbrenner used to cite it constantly when asked about the team's drought of championships during that decade.

Wow, you are right. I must have heard wrong.
1980's NYY: 854-708
1980's KCR: 826-734
Still, the fact that the Royals had a 52.95% winning percentage for a 10-year stretch should be pretty surprising to most people! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
