Wow, I'm so excited to see Driveball in this community! My favorite team so far would have to be Fort Wayne admittedly, even though something tells me they will end up folding or relocating in a few years. I could be wrong though. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, unfortunately some of the charter teams might not make it past the Fifties if they're lucky. But sooner or later, Driveball will inevitably come to the west coast.

Yup. They were there. Cleveland, New York and Detroit were there too.
