Historians have recently discovered the first known use of the term "SHaM" was right here in 2009. And what better way to celebrate with a 2-part SHaM quiz. Following are the winning percentages of the post-ASB Mets from 2009 to 2018 (per bbr). A) Align each winning % to the season (2009 through 2018) the SHaMs achieved it. 1) .589 2) .558 3) .541 4) .507 5) .465 6) .437 7) .419 8) .408 9) . 378 10) .373 B) Align each season 2009 thru 2018 by the following SHaM Delta rankings -- that is, SHaM winning percentage minus the First-Half winning percentage (iow, best second half relative to first half) 1) +143 2) +55 3) +33 4) +14 5) +7 6) -45 7) -68 8) -121 9) -126 10) -156 Currently, the 2019 SHaMs are on pace to shatter both SHaM % (.722) and SHaM Delta (+278) records! No looking up! Guess all 20 answers in a single post and I'll correct your papers over the weekend
