And what's their win percentage over the past century?

.513, fifth best of all teams (that’s all-time, I wasn’t able to find the stat for just the last 100 years).

No, no, no. World Series wins over the last century. You mentioned they'd won a world series. I ask what that meant for their win percentage over one hundred years.

Oh, sorry. ‘Win percentage’ normally means percentage of all games won. 

In the last 100 years, the Cubs have played in six World Series and won one. That gives them a winning percentage of .167. Not great, but not the worst, either.

Must admit this thread has me interested as to how toys such as Ian Mccollm has like the 'Calico 9' with its rather unique and interesting 100 round helical magazine will fare.

Those were a neat concept. Clinton's AWB killed that company.

I was working at the gun shop - and the owner and manager were gone - leaving me in charge for a few hours.

A guy came in wanting to sell a Calico and 3 magazines. I had not been given "authorization" to buy - but did so on my own volition.. (Legal - but could piss off the owner).


When the manager came back I told him if he didn't approve of the deal I made - I would pay the store what I paid the customer - plus double the usual transfer fee. ($25).

He said that it was ok...

The customer asked for - and I paid him - $150.

Each mag was worth more than that...

The only good thing about baseball is some of those big booties.

Nope. They have won 1% of World Series in the last 100 years.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

The World Series in which they did not play aren't part of the winning percentage. How could they win a World Series they didn't play in?

I played semi-professional rugby for several years. No team of which I was a member played at the Rugby World Cup. How would you calculate the win percentage of those teams?
