Upon running through the articles from the last week or so
that piled up while I was on vacation, somebody mentioned
the 1950 Indians holding the record for wins in a season
with 113.  Firstly, it wasn`t 1950, but 1948, and I believe
the total was 110.  Anyway, the major league record for
wins in a season was done back in the early days.  The
Chicago Cubs, with Tinker, Evers, Chance, Brown, etc.
won 116 games in 1906.  That was the year the White Sox
(called the Hitless Wonders cause they had a team batting
average of something like .235) won the AL, setting up the
only all-Chicago World Series.  After having played a lot
of sports Trivial Pursuit lately, trivia has floated to
the top of my head.
