The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.
The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development.
For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ.
Cliff pulled the old reverse jinx trick by predicting an A's sweep, thereby guaranteeing that it wouldn't happen.
It totally negated my recipe trick, and the A's went back to their pre-recipe-blog non-scoring ways, and lost 5-0.
Moreover, I think he's up to some other evil trick at this very moment, so to counteract him, I'm throwing out a triple dose of recipes:
First, here's where to get some jinx-removing root oil.
Then, we'll use the classic Egg Jinx Removing Spell.
And to invoke the power of Motherhood, and to prevent my powers from crumbling away, I'll throw in Mom's No-Crumble Nutbread.
That, plus a solid dose of Rich Harden ought to do the trick.
I've just added a "Scoreless Innings Meter," let's hope that works, too.
