Franchise History- This franchise is the model of success for the National League. They are one of the original franchises in Glavine300. Starting out as the Buffalo Nanucrons, they have dominated the NL North since their inception. They have made the playoffs every year in the first seven seasons of play, winning the NL North a record six times. They have also made it to the NLCS three times in Seasons 1, 5 & 7 and made it to the Worlds Series in Season 5 (lost to Baltimore 4-3) and again in Season 7 (lost to San Juan 4-1). After Season 7’s World Series defeat, the team’s original owner, afeigenb, packed up the team in the middle of the night and moved them to the Motor City where they became the Detroit Wheels.
Franchise Outlook- While this team’s resume is incredibly impressive, they still have not been able to bring home a championship. Hurlers Ebeneezer Miller and Frank Matsui head up their formidable pitching staff and the lineup is led by Wiki Ramirez and Lorenzo Sanchez. This, however, has still not been enough to push them over the hump to a championship. Unfortunately, there minor league system is not loaded with talent. This leaves a big question mark about the future of this franchise. How will afeigenb get this team to walk away from a World Series a winner? Time will tell, and hopefully for his sake and the sake of his fans he will find a way…because noone ever remembers who lost the World Series.
