You're putting someone on the list without using the smiley?

Do you know what happens when you put someone on the list without the smiley?

As most of us know, Arizona was ran by the legendary mntwinsfan for the longest of times. His achievements include...I'm not entirely sure he ever made the playoffs with HollywoodLeo in charge, maybe ages ago when Molina was in charge but I'm not entirely sure it was mntwinsfan running Arizona at that time (I'll defer that to OM). I feel like they went through a series of brief cameo GM appearances until I took over but I didn't pay much attention to them (but has anyone really ever?)

edit- mntwinsfan took over in 2034, by my count he definitely made the playoffs once, maybe twice.

Since 2034, Arizona has only achieved a winning record 6 times and they haven't seen .500 or better since 2053! So, in nearly 40 seasons, 6 winning records. That's almost unbelieveable that they didn't run into more OOTP dumb luck, but perhaps some of that dumb luck contributed to the 6 times they did make it.

Amazingly my 38 win achievement last season was not even their worst season (so I've got goals here). I'm not sure I've ever won that few (not that I was trying, but still).

Perhaps the saddest, or one of the saddest, cause let's be honest, there's a big ole swimming pool of saddddddness with this franchise, but anyways, one of the saddest facts that helped contribute to their mired existence: From 2058 to 2062, five straight years of losing records, winning at most 76 games, this franchise had zero....ZERO..first round draft selections. The next drafts produced a 2nd overall pick in Del Griffith, who never even made it to the majors; a 6th overall pick in Lee Porter, who bloomed late into a solid infielder; and 8th overall pick in Marvin Hinton, who still has not fully developed by age 25. Throw in 2nd overall pick in LeBron James, who I assume lost talent cause there's no way a 6 contact guy goes top 5 right? So 5 years of complete roster management ineptitude plus 4 years of high draft pick terrible luck.. and you thought the real life Sacramento Kings had it bad (they do, though).

Hopefully that starts to turn around a bit, although it's been a bumpy start. But dang. That's practically a decade of "lottery" picks down the drain! Couple that with stagnation, I'm surprised Bud Selig didn't try to hijack MSL to contract the Diamondbacks.

Worst OOTP franchise ever nomination submitted. Ever see worse in other leagues? Or as bad.

Sincere apology to the state of Arizona for not being able to yet end the playoff drought that is probably considered something more extreme than a drought at this point.

Also, I am happy to see that there is hope for the Sacramento Kings and perhaps my reference joke will be outdated.
