DC Chips vs. John McDonald Fanclub: A History

by Steve C, Washington

This season marks the fourth time that DCC and JMF have been division rivals.

Both clubs premiered in ATB X.  That year, DCC took the Walter Alston Division over second place JMF (113 wins vs. 95).

The very next season, in ATB XI, JMF got its revenge in the It Might Be Gone Division.  JMF won the division with 109 wins while DCC finished second with 88.

In light of a nasty bench-clearing brawl late in ATB XI, Lou made an executive decision to place the teams in different divisions for ATB XII.

By popular demand, however, DCC and JMF squared off again in the American Division of ATB XIII.  Unfortunately, this highly anticipated rematch was spoiled by the Gold Coast Gossamers, who inconveniently ran away with the division.

Sadly, in ATB XIV and XV, the two rivals were again separated. 

But, as nature intended, this season finds them both in the AL West.  

After twenty games, DCC and JMF are separated by a mere half game.  They are trying to hold off promising clubs fielded by the Brews and Stuffers.

So, we’ll see what unfolds over the next 140 games. 

Good luck Jason!
