Season
Wins
- In the Cold Water division, the story was all about the
Tucson Butchers
, who ripped through the competition like a saw through flesh, helped by a huge mid-season winning streak that ran from the seam to the chops; the 
Jersey OSHA Violations
limped into second
Season 10 games above .500
Runs
- Sometime around Day 18, the
Sacramento Boot Lickers
and 
Atlanta Glitter Sharks
began to diverge, with the Boot Lickers making a recovery and catching up with the rest of the league in run production. But then on Day 30, something snapped, and the fortunes of the Boot Lickers and Glitter Sharks reversed, helping lift the Glitter Sharks to first in the division.

Postseason
Main: Season 10/Postseason
Valentines Day Series
"The Lovers Embrace" after 5,461 generations. Despite being the obvious losers the Milwaukee Flamingos kept teasing the Tucson Butchers for another 2,000 generations.
b5041ae0-f1a9-49bd-a8fa-79e9ffa00deeThe Season 10 Hellmouth Cup series between the Tucson Butchers
and 
Milwaukee Flamingos
was nicknamed the "Valentine's Day Series" because it took place on Valentine's Day, because the red/pink color scheme, and because during the Season 9 Hellmouth Cup series, which was also the Butchers vs. Flamingos, the two teams quickly developed a complicated, messy anti-rivalry and resolved to meet again in the Hellmouth Cup soon.
Game 1 became notable because, in addition to setting a record for longest game, the Butchers and Flamingos spent most of Game 1 making out, causing most viewers to lose interest in the series altogether, and making Season 10 the least-watched postseason series in Golly history.
The Lovers Embrace
Game 1 of the Hellmouth Cup b5041ae0-f1a9-49bd-a8fa-79e9ffa00dee, when the two teams were reunited for the first time, set a record for the longest Golly match in history (7,255 generations - see Records/Length). It also set the record for longest Hellmouth Cup match in history.
The game, which was nicknamed "The Lovers Embrace," took place on the Underground Cave Complex map. The Tucson Butchers dominated the grid early, which freed them up to spend most of the rest of the match making out but the Milwaukee Flamingos. By the end of the match, most fans had left, and those that remained were booing the umpires; no one could understand why the umpires took so long to declare the match over.
