AIL Scoresheet League

The AIL, or AL Internet as Scoresheet insists on calling us, was formed just prior to the 1995 season as a hurried draft completed slightly after the strike's end to mark the beginning of the Scoresheet mailing list's first AL league. The list's first league, the NIL or NL Internet, is the AIL's "sister league". The champions of the respective leagues meet each year in a virtual World Series. The AIL leads the series 6-3, after the NIL reclaimed the trophy in '03.

Mike Trickey's Blame Canada claimed their 3rd title in 4 years and became the first team to repeat in AIL history:

2003 - Blame Canada (team 5) owned by Mike Trickey
2002 - Blame Canada (team 5) owned by Mike Trickey
2001 - Tragically Degenerative Hipsters (team 6) owned by Seth Bienstock
2000 - Blame Canada (team 5) owned by Mike Trickey
1999 - Kamikaze Penguins (team 10) owned by Bret Hildebran
1998 - Not Ptarmigan (team 7) owned by Geoff Young
1997 - Forrest City Tiggers (team 8) owned by Tim Wallaert & Scot Tutkovics
1996 - Oscar Gamble Hair Clubbers (team 6) owned by Seth Bienstock
1995 - Stinkin' Catchers (team 5) then owned by Reede Stockton

'03 Playoffs

Mike Trickey became the first owner to ever successfully defend an AIL title, as Blame Canada claimed its third title in four years. Blame Canada edged Jon Lithgow's Mudville Thespians 4-2 in an extremely close series (runs scored 22-20). The entire series was composed of one run games, three of which went into extra innings. Barry Zito managed to win two for Blame Canada to put them over the top.

Jon Lithgow's Crash Davis division champ Mudville Thespians advanced to meet Mike, by slamming Lew Stansby's wildcard Evil Empire, 4-1. Lew in his first season in the AIL managed to take the Evil Empire from worst to wildcard in a single season, quite impressive.

Blame Canada then met the NIL champion Fat City Hunchbacks, owned by Tony Chin. Mike's Canadians dropped the series in 6 games marking only the 3rd AIL loss in 9 tries.

Draftmeisters
The AIL owes a debt of gratitude to the three draft-meisters who have helped us run our e-mail round-by-round draft over the years. Brian Jones was the original draft-meister for the rushed '95 draft. Kraig Smith then provided invaluable aid in '96 & '97. Current draft-meister Dave Karpuszka helped us throughout the '98, '99 & '00 season and is continuing the tradition in 2001...Thanks to all three for their help - nothing beats the help of a reliable draft-meister! Mail draftmeister Dave.
