"The League" Hardware
To be champion of "The League" is an achievement that does not come easily and one that demands respect on the fantasy playing field. In its 19-year existence, seven of "The League's" 10 owners have hoisted the coveted championship trophy, including a new champion each season from 2009-2019. Seven owners have won multiple titles, with three reaching the pinnacle at least three times. For the three that have yet to reach the mountaintop, each new season provides another opportunity to achieve the ultimate goal. A new tradition was established at the beginning of the 2014 season in which "The League's" championship trophy, pictured right, is past from champion to champion in a celebratory Draft Day ceremony.
"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." — Vince Lombardi
