NO Quitters history

Founded as a "polite" elite league No Quitters!! has completed 6 seasons

Year 1
As in most leagues preseason year 1 saw the most positioning and repositioning. In the end Boston won the WS defeating the Blue Crabs 4-1. 26 or 32 owners returned for season 2.

Year 2
Year 2 brought a new AL team to the WS. Detroit defeated the Blue Crabs 4-1. Year 2 also saw the appearance and disappearance of "team of 7" an attempt to run a franchise with a different owner at each level. The effort was noteworthy for its dysharmony. 27 of 32 owners returned for yr 3

Year 3
Detroit encores its WS with a 4-3 victory over the Blue Crabs (there is increasing concern that Blue Craps are managed by the Atlanta Braves manager Billy Cox). 28 of 32 owners return for year 4. While the numbers are good a couple of hte teams have had annual ownership changes and increased attention is paid to stability starting in yr 4.

Year 4
The initial aging of the Blue Crabs is apparent in their early exit from the playoffs. This allows the NL to get a new franchise to the world series. Unfortunately the outcome is the same with Charlotte defeating Cheyenne 4-2. Stability is the primary off season issue as 8 teams are replaced, many of them for the 2nd or 3rd time.

Year 5
The Blue Crabs fade continues and they are displaced by Scranton as divison champs. However it is Austin that wins the NLs 1st World Series title with a 4-2 victory over Dover. 27 of 32 owners return. Recruiting for the 5 emply slots is slow as the Commish commits to filling only with experienced owners and staying private.

Year 6
Stability has been established. Charlotte and Cheyenne reprise the year 4 World Series with the same result. 31 of 32 teams return and the 32nd owner is Kcg67 who had won the initial world series. No Quitters rolls to year 7 in less than 24 hours. Hopefully this stability is here to stay.

In total 4 different teams have represented the AL in the WS winning 5 tittles
and 4 different teams have represented the NL winning only 1 WS.
Detroit 2 WS
Charlotte 2 WS
Austin 1 WS
Boston 1 WS
