A Decade Of SHaM History Quiz

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Historians have recently discovered the first known use of the term "SHaM" was right here in 2009. And what better way to celebrate with a 2-part SHaM quiz.



Following are the winning percentages of the post-ASB Mets from 2009 to 2018 (per bbr).



A) Align each winning % to the season (2009 through 2018) the SHaMs achieved it.



1) .589

2) .558

3) .541

4) .507

5) .465

6) .437

7) .419

8) .408

9) . 378

10) .373



Align each season 2009 thru 2018 by the following SHaM Delta rankings -- that is, SHaM winning percentage minus the First-Half winning percentage (iow, best second half relative to first half)



1) +143

2) +55

3) +33

4) +14

5) +7

6) -45

7) -68

8) -121

9) -126

10) -156



Currently, the 2019 SHaMs are on pace to shatter both SHaM % (.722) and SHaM Delta (+278) records!
