Evan Hummel, Mike Neuhaus, and Spencer Beacom have each missed one season, so their totals are out of eight years instead of nine. Win percentage, not total wins, is the fairest way to compare across that.

For The Record
Records & Lore
VERIFIED LEAGUE LORE
The two-time #1 club: Brian Kerwin (2017, 2020) and Jack Mestanas (2018, 2021) are the only managers to ever draw the first overall pick twice.
Matt Samuelson's charmed lottery balls: pick 3 in 2020, then 2, 1, 2 from 2023 through 2025. Four top-three draws in nine years.
Drew Gorski's cold streak: drew pick 2 in 2020 and hasn't cracked the top four since, drawing 8, 8, 9, 5, and 11 from 2021 to 2025. He has never drawn the #1 pick, but still has a title (2022).
The unchanged: Will Harrington and Matt Samuelson are the only two managers who have never renamed their team.
Mike Neuhaus's identity crisis: five different team names across nine years, then won it all in 2024 as Hot Chubb Time Machine, then drew the #1 pick again in 2025.
Joe Bullard's long road: six team names in nine drafts, never once drew the #1 pick, and still broke through for the 2025 title.
The 2020 flip: Brian Kerwin took Christian McCaffrey with the #1 pick, but Mason Smith won the title from the 6-slot.
THE BASEMENT (LAST PLACE, BY YEAR)
The Sacko punishment: last place pays double dues the following season. Drew Ali, the 2025 basement dweller, paid an extra $125 into the Season 10 pot, which is why the champion's payout is $1,775. At $150 a year now, the Season 10 loser antes $300 to walk back through the door for Season 11. No costumes, no photoshoots. Just a bill.
