Draft your all-time MLB lineup or lock in one franchise — then try to go undefeated.
No Major League Baseball team has ever come close to going 162-0 through a full regular season. The 2001 Seattle Mariners went 116-46 — the most wins ever — and no team since has threatened that record. The 162-0 Challenge asks you to build the roster that could finally make the impossible possible.
Your lineup spans nine positions: C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, three outfield spots, and a DH. In the choose-your-era mode, you also draft starting pitchers and relievers to complete your roster. Every position matters — a lineup loaded with power hitters but weak up the middle will lose the games that elite pitching wins.
The All-Time Draft lets you pull players from any team and decade in baseball history — pair Barry Bonds with Babe Ruth, Mike Trout with Willie Mays. The One Franchise Challenge limits you to a single organization's history across every era they played. And the Choose Your Era mode lets you select specific decades and teams, then draft individual seasons rather than decade averages.
The Choose Your Era mode offers two stat views. Single Season Stats expands each player's decade into individual yearly performances — Barry Bonds' 2001 season with 73 home runs looks very different from his 2003 or 2006 season. Decade Totals shows the cumulative numbers across all their years with that team in that era, which better reflects sustained excellence over time.
In the all-time and one-franchise modes, the simulation focuses on batting. In the choose-your-era mode, you can also draft starting pitchers and relievers. Pitchers with low ERAs, high win totals, and Cy Young awards boost your team's defensive strength significantly.
The steroid era (late 1990s–2000s) produced some of the most prolific offensive numbers in baseball history. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa all posted historic home run totals in this period. However, pitching was also strong, and era adjustments normalize performance across all decades, so 1950s legends like Willie Mays and Hank Aaron remain fully competitive.
