Rock Spring Mudrats
The Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland Athletics. The Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves. The Cleveland/Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams.
These nomadic teams have nothing on the Madison/Atlanta/Hillside/Westchester/Rock Spring franchise, which has moved so much
that even original owner Joe Przepiorka can't remember what the team was called when it was in Westchester. As Madison, the
Mangled Baby Bombers were the first expansion team to win a DNFL Bowl in only the team's second season, and also were the first
team to win a DNFL Bowl by tiebreaker.
In the six years from 1998 to 1993, the team was the definition of consistency, finishing 6-8 five times. John Perkins
("Perky") took over the team in 1993, and has brought it stability. The team has stayed in Rock Spring since 1996, its longest
run in any city. Perky's team has made the playoffs four times in that span after the team had made the playoffs only twice
in its first 17 years, and in 2005 the team won its first DNFL Bowl in 25 years. A small oddity: the franchise never has
finished as the wildcard.
