I just finally won my first World Championship with my Las Vegas team in 2015. I started my fictional league in 2003, and I was a manager with Providence. I spent three disappointing seasons there, then got canned.
Took a job with the horrible Las Vegas team. Turned them around my first season from losing 90+ to going 86 - 76. However, I was not able to keep the roster together due to very poor fan support and money. Spent the next few years bouncing around the .500 mark, but I had a good owner, so I lept my job. Then I started making trades for prospects and built my minor league system up. In 2011 I finally won my division, but got bounced in the LCS in 6 games. The next season I finished second, but my fan support was increasing nicely and so was my cashflow.
In 2013 I made some free-agent signings and won the division again, but got bounced in the LCS again, this time by Los Angeles. 2014, same thing, again losing in the LCS to the hated Los Angeles team. And then finally, 2015.....Champions.
I actually feel like I accomplished something. It was pretty cool, seeing this team I put together and suffered with. My roster was almost exactly the same for the last 4 seasons or so, give or take 4 or 5 guys. There was even a backup catcher I kept around probably one season too long, but he'd been with me for my whole run in LV. So even though it's just a game, it was nice to see a guy like that win a ring.
