It was in the late 70s and I think it was a Chicago Tribune item.

They added up the W-L totals of all the Chicago professional teams (I can’t remember if they include teams like the Cardinals, Zephyrs and Stags). Out of north of 25000 contests at that time, the combined totals were somewhen around 20-30 games over .500.

That’s mediocrity.
