<P> Prior to 1886, teams played . 700 ball or better over shorter schedules, where there is much less of the "evening out" effect of a lengthier season . </P> <P> For example, the Chicago White Stockings won the National League's first pennant in 1876 with a 52--14 record (. 788), and won the 1880 NL pennant with a 67--17 record (. 798), which stands as the overall percentage record between the National or the American League . The White Stockings' 1880 record would project to a record of 129--33 under the modern schedule of 162 games, while Pythagorean expectation based on the White Stockings' results (538 runs scored, 317 runs allowed) and a 162 - game schedule would translate to a record of 120--42 . </P> <P> The all - time best single season record belongs to the Cincinnati Red Stockings, who posted baseball's only perfect record at 67--0 (57--0 against National Association of Base Ball Players clubs) in 1869 . Their record would stretch to 81--0 across the 1870 season before losing 8--7 in eleven innings to the Brooklyn Atlantics in Brooklyn on June 14 . </P> <P> The second - best record belongs to the 1875 Boston Red Stockings of the National Association, who finished with a record of 71--8 (. 899), but the status of the National Association as a major league has long been disputed . The Red Stockings record would project to 146--16 under the modern schedule of 162 games, while Pythagorean expectation based on the Red Stockings results (831 runs scored, 343 runs allowed) and the modern 162 - game schedule would translate to a record of 138--24 . </P>
