Happy New Year, VEB!
Last week, in anticipation of the close of the decade, I offered a highly subjective and scantily researched list of bests. One of those categories included best team of the decade. As I perused the Cardinals’ franchise page at Baseball Reference, I quickly determined that there was no easy way to evaluate one team’s seasons against each other. While I could sort by production stats, win totals or postseason performance, I could not find some sort of quantitative and cumulative measurement of a team’s season.
That left me in something of a pickle.
