the Bob Shorties got one before they skipped town.
1969...you can read about it in Stephen Walker's "A Whole New Ballgame". That was Ted Williams first year. They won 86 games.
So...87 wins is the next target...will give the 2012 team the best record since 1933 (ignoring the fluky war-time team in 1944 or '45 that finished second. )
