Can something be a record based on "widely considered"?**
Nova Hokie 95 • 03/02/26 01:59 PM ET
Akin to getting an asterisk, no? :-)**
PhotoHokieNC • 03/03/26 06:06 AM ET
Its a record for playing 30 spring games or more. They didn't play as many
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 02:22 PM ET
What about fastest expansion team to win a World Series?
SteveInBaltimore • 03/02/26 01:56 PM ET
See below -- D'backs took four seasons**
Nova Hokie 95 • 03/02/26 01:58 PM ET
Oldest manager to win World Series (Leyland)?**
SteveInBaltimore • 03/02/26 11:56 AM ET
That would be Dusty Baker at 73 years old.**
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 12:05 PM ET
Leyland could have set the record at the time though
SteveInBaltimore • 03/02/26 12:12 PM ET
NO he was just 52 in 1997.
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 12:15 PM ET
Damn, that's crazy!**
VT_NOVA • 03/02/26 03:54 PM ET
LOL. He always looked like he was pushing 80.**
reestuart • 03/02/26 12:28 PM ET
Dude is still kicking at 81.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/02/26 01:02 PM ET
He probably looks the same now as 20+ years ago. **

Ding - True, but not the record I was looking for. Could be lots of things
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 11:50 AM ET
I haven’t looked it up, but that might be a winner. **
RoswellGAHokie • 03/02/26 11:24 AM ET

UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 09:05 AM ET
They sucked, bought a WS caliber team, then sold them off.**
EDGEMAN • 03/02/26 10:41 AM ET
Then they did it a second time later**
Nova Hokie 95 • 03/02/26 11:20 AM ET
