With 15 years gone between genuinely competitive years, we have many a fan who is unfamiliar with a winning club and many who do not exactly comprehend how well the team has picked up wins.

Is that record correct for 1993; seems like it's about 10 games too few.
How was the 1998 team 61-57, and 26.5 GB of the wild card. That seems hard to believe.
1998 Yankees were a beast.
Oops. '93 should be 51 losses not 31.
for clarification purposes, i believe the GB is representative of games back from the division lead, not the wild card.
The Orioles have a half game LEAD over the A's for the second wc
