Season 60 Organization of the Year

In the Yount League, the most esteemed honor is the Organization of the Year award. According to league rules, we seek owners with well-rounded organizations, which is why there is a minimum win rate requirement for the minor leagues. The Baltimore Orioles claimed the top spot in Season 60, amassing 793 points and winning the award for the seventh time overall — this time under new ownership, as pitboss13 stepped in to carry on the Orioles dynasty. Baltimore's path to the top was paved through the farm system rather than the big leagues: the Orioles won the AAA World Series, captured the High-A pennant, and made the playoffs at every level of the organization, accumulating 272 bonus points to go along with 521 wins across all affiliates.

The Minnesota Twins (Rudypoohs) made a compelling run for the title, finishing second with 769 points. The Twins were the most decorated organization in the minors this season, winning the Double-A World Series and reaching the AAA pennant round, posting an impressive 271 bonus points of their own.

At Get Up Get Up Get Outta Here Gone, we believe that the Owner of the Year should demonstrate outstanding leadership by maintaining a robust farm system and positioning their Major League team for a playoff run. Additionally, their lower-level teams should be actively competing for minor league championships. The winner of the Get Up, Get Up, Get Outta Here Gone Owner of the Year Award should consistently keep teams competitive at all levels. The owner who gathers the most points will be awarded the prestigious Get Up, Get Up, Get Outta Here Gone Owner of the Year Award.

Four franchises — the Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, and Florida Marlins — did not make the playoffs at any level this season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (jslipford916) made the most dramatic rise of the season, vaulting 21 spots to finish 6th overall. The Milwaukee Brewers (willsauve) were the Major League World Series Champions this season and jumped 12 spots to 3rd place. The Seattle Mariners (NodakJuggalo) rose 9 spots to 4th, making the playoffs at four different levels. On the other end, the Philadelphia Phillies (staeben) suffered the sharpest decline, tumbling 17 spots, followed by the Houston Astros (brianbowsher) who fell 15. The Cincinnati Reds (sportbanker) earned the National League pennant and finished 17th overall — a reminder that a deep major league run without minor league support doesn't move the needle in this award.

The Atlanta Braves (mark102857) had a quietly impressive season in the lower levels, winning both the Low-A World Series and the Rookie League World Series, though a thin upper system held them to 7th place overall.
