NewMexiKen thinks it’s remarkable that Major League Baseball played all but one of the 2,430 games on the 2003 schedule. The Giants and Mets missed a game along the way. Everyone else got in all 162 games.
The Detroit Tigers won five out of their last six games to keep from matching the 1962 Mets for the most losses in a season. The Tigers ended up 43-119. The ’62 Mets were 40-120.
The Yankees and Braves each won 101 games; the Giants 100.
