| Traverse City Beach Bums -- 2015 Frontier League champions |
Since the Wild Things joined the Frontier League in 2002, how many different teams have won the league championship?
Answer: Twelve.
The Traverse City Beach Bums become the Frontier League's 12th different champion in the last 14 years when they swept the River City Rascals, winning Game 3 last Friday night, 4-1.
Two teams -- Windy City (2007 and '08) and Schaumburg (2013 and '14) -- have won a pair of championships since Washington joined the league. If the Rockford Aviators fold as expected and the Greys are not needed, then the 2015 lineup in the Frontier League will consist of 12 teams. Of those 12, only three will have never hoisted the championship trophy: Florence, Normal and, of course, Washington.
Traverse City won its first championship in the franchise's 10th season. The record for longest run without a championship is held by Chillicothe, which never won the title in its 16 years in the league. Washington is 0-for-14.
By the way, the West Virginia Black Bears, the Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate in the New York-Penn League that played their inaugural season this year in Morgantown, W.Va., won the league championship. That should make every Wild Things fan cringe.

Sort of what I was trying to point out in my post yesterday. In short, the Wild Things management needs a major overhaul - PRONTO! Well, maybe it's already too late for that.
