Riffing off this, I’d say biggest jump in wins for a team that went worst-to-first.

Unless one of those Boston teams is the Braves.Report

* As minor league teams.Report
There were separate minor and major leagues around the turn of the 20th?Report
There were minor leagues as soon as the National League declared itself the first major league in 1876 (and actually began to distinguish itself as superior during the 1880s). But you’re probably thinking of a minor league as a farm system for the major leagues, and that didn’t start until Branch Rickey began to develop them during the 1920s. Before that, a minor league team was an independent business that signed players, sold tickets, and occasionally sold the contract of one of its players to a higher-level team (major or higher minor.) There are still a few independent minor league teams around (though obviously they can’t sell players anymore), but they’re a tiny minority. Anyway, given that there was no baseball west of the Mississippi or south of the Potomac until the 1950s, minor league baseball was what the majority of the country had.Report
