History

Historical Context

The 1906 Chicago Cubs, managed by Frank Chance, set a modern-era record with 116 victories and a .763 winning percentage, the highest ever. That dominance established the 100-win season as a benchmark for championship expectations. The Los Angeles Dodgers, chasing their 60th win in 2024, echo that early-season surge, hoping to translate the milestone into a postseason run.
