![[OC] Cubs' franchise historical performance relative to .500](https://www.rawchili.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/vt034zq31g5g1-1920x1024.png)
Visiting Pirates fan here!
During the offseason, I'm creating a graph like this for every MLB team. It tracks each franchise's cumulative record relative to .500 (equal wins and losses) throughout their entire history.
The annotation shows the franchise's all-time peak.
The complete album can be seen here. I also made the NFL and NHL charts (before the current season).

This is awesome. Cool project. Great visual, easy to read and revealing. Thank you for sharing.
Basically the franchise is around .500 without the 19th century. Almost 200 games under during my early rooting years and around .500 since.
If we had REALLY sucked from like 2000 to today we’d look like the state of Virginia
Great stuff
Funny how the World Series wins are all nowhere near the peak of the franchise. Also I didn’t realize how good they were from 1910-1947
