What a season. The Sidewinders won 99 games and are the AAA champs. Does this mean we get a major league team next year?
UPDATE: Bob comments that they actually won 98 games. He’s right; my math was wrong. My apologies, and thanks for the clarification, Bob.

There’s something about beating a team called the Mud Hens, that detracts from the occasion.
But the Sidewinders do have the best team of players left over after everyone has sent their best players up to the majors for end-of-season rookie tryouts.
For accuracy: 98 wins this year.
You’re right. My bad. I was thinking they won 92 games in the regular season, and they only one 91. Thanks for the fix, Bob.
