Here are the composite standings of the first ten seasons of the Finger Lakes League:

Code:
TEAM            W    L    PCT  PO  SC
Geneva         882  618  .588   6   1
Waterloo       774  726  .516   6   4
Watkins Glen   748  752  .499   5   3
Seneca Falls   746  754  .497   2   1
Penn Yan       705  795  .470   1   1
Canandaigua    645  855  .430   0   0

PO = number of times the team has played in the Seneca Cup Series playoff
SC = number of Seneca Cup Series the team has won
  • Despite Geneva's dominance of the regular season, they can't seem to get it done in the Series. Their 1911 juggernaut won the franchise's only Series, and they've lost five times.
  • Geneva has never experienced a losing season, and the Green Sox have never finished lower than third.
  • Waterloo finished below .500 in 1904, 1905, and 1906, but they have reeled off seven straight winning seasons since then.
  • Watkins Glen's story is a tale of two teams. For six years, they were the league's most successful team. Lately, they've been among the doormats.
  • Penn Yan won its Series in 1905, and hasn't experienced postseason play since.
  • Poor Canandaigua is the only FLL team to never make the playoffs. In fact, the Ice Cats have only finished as high as third once, in 1912.
