Cleveland's record in 1954 was 111-43 (154 game season) for a
winning percentage of .720.

Well, if Clev. played at .720 for their big season,
then Detroit will have to go 117-45 to have a better
winning percentage of .722.  If they only win 111
games (ONLY?) they`d end up at .685.  How sad.
Which brings up a good question.  What team has
the most wins in a 162-game season?
