Season by season
Every season in franchise history, from Lahman’s database. Pick a figure to chart it; the year links to that season’s page where there is one. The World Series column starts in 1903, because that is when the World Series does — an earlier blank is not a team that failed to win it. A dash means the source carries no figure for that season — a season not played, or a column the source does not record that year. It is not a nought, so this page does not print one.
