History of team's performance

2003 Season

The RoughRiders experienced much success during their inagural season. The RoughRiders qualified for the playoffs, having the best first-half record of 40-30 in the East Division to clinch a playoff berth ^[3]. They failed to attain the best 2nd half record, forcing a playoff between the RoughRiders and the Wichita Wranglers. The RoughRiders beat the Wranglers three games to none, allowing them to advance to the Texas League Championship Series ^[4]. However, the RoughRiders were unable to capitalize on their earlier successes, and ultimately lost in the Series to the San Antonio Missions four games to one ^[5].

2004 Season

The 2004 season would prove to have even more success than the 2003 one did. The RoughRiders struggled in the first half of the season, not clinching a playoff berth in that first half ^[6]. However, the RoughRiders came alive in the second half of the season, easily clinching the half well before the season ended^[7]. Because they did not win the first half, the RoughRiders were forced into a playoff series against the Tulsa Drillers. The RoughRiders easily defeated the team, winning the best-of-five series three games to none ^[8]. The Roughriders proceeded to defeat the Round Rock Express in the Texas League Championship Series four games to one, winning their first-ever championship in their second year of existence ^[5]. 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
