55 Seasons as Kansas City Royals

12 seasons in the .500 zone
2 WS Champions
4 AL Champions
7 Division Titles (1981 2nd half)
1 Wild Card (+1981)

1 MVP
4 Cy Youngs
4 RoY
1 MoY

9 Middle place finishes (4th place in 7 team div, 3rd in 5 team)
Didn't finish last until 1996 (27 seasons)

1 season of .600 baseball (1977)
1 season of 100 wins
9 second place finishes
11 last place finishes (all in 5-team div era)
7 seasons below .400 (first in 2002)
7 seasons of 100 losses

Interestingly, a lot of the good Royals teams only had 90 - 92 wins. I expect division winners to be at 95+
