I'd say winning a World Series in only their 4th season doesn't count as a slow start whatsoever. In fact, it might be the fastest in history for an expansion team. But spin away, my friend.....
My point was that a team that moves to a new market, whether an expansion team or a relocating team, often has trouble succeeding--whether you want to measure success as in fan base or establishing a winning record. I don't really care about the D-Backs, and just used them as an example.
Now go argue with your Trump blow-up doll, or whatever gets you off.
Oh, and over 50 years ago, the MLB team that still holds the record for the worst season in history won the World Series in their eighth season. Search your memory banks--was it the Pittsburgh Penguins? LOL.
