My first 30 game winner! The Big Train in a 90 mil modified franchise league:

Finally, after about 170 teams, I get a team with 4 20 game winners. The funny thing is that I considered cutting Greinke at mid-season, as he was just 7-10, but he won 9 in a row down the stretch (and lost his last game 1-0 after pitching 8 and a third innings of no-hit ball).

All in all, a very fun team and an enjoyable season. I hope that I haven't jinxed them by posting the team here before the playoffs start. - Bernie

4- 20 game winners from a franchise theme league... All the teams in this league were DB era players so there was a lot of great pitching

Besides 2cityfan's team in the prior post, there were also a couple of other teams in the league that had 4 20 game winners, making it 3 teams in the league with 4 20 game winners. I've never seen two teams in the same league with 4 20 game winners, so 3 teams with4 20 game winners in the same league is really rare:

Jeez, I remember that league set up by 2cityfan. It was a long time ago! Due to the roster limitations, every team in the league ended up with money to burn. I think there were five teams at least that had more than $30 million unspent. I had the A's and wound up with $34 mil I couldn't use, mainly because Collins, Baker and Coombs were ineligible for me.

A nice memory!

Probably been said, but I've had four 20 game winners multiple time, but can't recall ever having a 30 game winner in ATG 8 or any of the previous ATG incarnations.

The following are just ATG 8 teams, didn't check anything earlier:

4 - 20s:

http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/1404835

3 - 20's and a 19:

http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/1388189
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/1408179

I also found about 4 other's with 3 - 20's and an 18 or 17 win 4th starter.

So, based on that, I would definitely have to say that a 30 game winner is much more rare.
