Franchise History- This team started out in the Great Northwest as the Seattle Sexy Girls. They found no success in Seattle, putting up the franchise’s worst ever record of 65-97. After Season 1, the team was sold to bpdelia and moved to Helena where they became the Camp Disappointments. This is where the franchise found their first taste of success. They steadily improved, behind Danny Cummings, getting better every year until they made the playoffs for the first time in Season 4. Seasons 4, 5 & 6 were impressive years for the Helena Franchise. They won over 100 games each year securing two division titles and winning the Division Championship in Season 5. The end of Season 6 saw the departure of Helena’s ace, Danny Cummings, it also saw a sharp decline in Helena’s success. The team went 91-71 in Season 7 and secured a wildcard berth but was not nearly the contender that it had been with their ace. After Season 7, a heartbroken bpdelia sold the team to mattjmiller. The team was moved to St. Louis and renamed the Aristocrats. Dejected owner bpdelia was arrested and is currently serving time in Puerto Rican prison for stalking Danny Cummings.

Franchise Outlook- The Aristocrats are a team in need of some help. The Major League Squad is led by All Star Veteran Rico Estrada and new comer Nigel Yang but the team struggles in the area of pitching. Their best pitcher is arguably 38 year old Socks Ferrelll who can’t have much left in the tank. There is also a serious lack of talent in the minor leagues. If this team is going to return to the glory they once had under bpdelia’s leadership, they are going to need some major pitching help moving forward. Not every team can have a Danny Cummings, but this team will have to make some moves if they want to stay on top of the heap in the NL West.
