Speaking of the 1st division, let's look at some of the notable teams down there in more depth.

The best team in the league since its inception is the squad hailing from Becheolivia, who are now called the Becheolivia Cheese, due to a large contribution from the state dairy producers association who thought it would be a great way to market the local brand of cheese (which is actually made miles from Becheolivia) and well..they were right.

Anyway, Becheolivia won the first 8 NFD titles and made the championship series each of the first 9 season of the league (1901-1909)

From 1917-1923, they reeled off another seven straight league championship series apperances, winning five titles.

That title in 1923 was the first season that the NFD was a "money" league (meaning I turned on financials that season for that league..) and they've only made 2 title apperance since then, with their last win coming in 1930.

The team that has dominated the "money" era better than any other, has to be the Astern Valley Winemakers (who play in the city of Raspberry Wine) who have finished 1st or 2nd in their division each of the last ten seasons, claiming 5 titles and making the playoffs 8 times.

This success has all come since 1929 to date. Prior to that, the team never made the playoffs and their best division or league finish was 3rd.

So, talk about a turnaround.

Fifty Lakes Professional, who have the coolest name in all of Neloxian baseball (in my opinion) have seven career playoff apperances in franchise history, with their only title coming in 1929.

Nelitz Dominion, which actually spent from 1901-1924 in the 2nd Division as the franchise from Prince Village, moved to the country's largest city in 1925 and have 9 playoff apperances and 3 NFD titles, the most recent going back to back in 1935-36.

The Sarta Emilae Statesman are a funny team. They joined the NFD in 1924 as an expansion club and reeled off three straight first-place finishes in their division (going 69-35 each of their first three seasons) and winning a title during their first season in 1924. They got back in 1937, losing in the playoffs and managed to replicate their success from the old days 14 years after the first, claiming the 1938 NFD title.

Southstate Capital (based in St. Langsburg, Larqsville) is the worst team arguably in the league. No titles since 1901 and no first-place finishes in franchise history. Their only playoff apperance came in 1914, but resulted in a loss.

I'm not covering three other teams, as they're not that notable right now.
