Billings Mustangs Celebrate 60th Season
Beginning play as a Class C level Pioneer League team in 1948, the Mustangs now are playing their 60th season (there were a handful of years in the early 60's when Billings didn't have a team). Now in the Rookie Level short-season Pioneer League, they've been the Reds affiliate since 1974.
http://billings.mustangs.milb.com/ne...=.jsp&sid=t513 Here is the first season with the Reds http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...gi?id=668b7eb2 The best record the club had was the 1978 season with a .735 clip, record of 50-18. [Kudos to Doug for catching my error on this] http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...gi?id=1f9ecae4 And the 1995 season wasn't too shabby either; 49-20 (.710). http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...gi?id=3587a83c Here's the entire history of the Billings Mustangs rosters: http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...=MT&country=US

Re: Billings Mustangs Celebrate 60th Season
I am no Frank Einstein, but I am pretty sure 49-20 is better than 48-20.
