The JD_Mah League (formerly known as Mantle) is Scoresheet Canada's original combined league (using both NL and AL players) having first competed in 1992). 2024 will mark the league's 33rd season.
The loop has 18 teams competing in a perpetual format in which owners are allowed to protect 17 players (plus 1 rookie) from the past season for the coming one.
The annual draft usually begins in mid to late February and extends over several weeks.
After losing back-to-back finals in 2017 and 2018, Denis Chabot's Hit Parade broke through for his first championship in 2019 topping Tery&Dean's Pufferfish in the final.
Then in 2020, relative newcomer Kevin Byers charged through the COVID season to capture his first title. A ninth inning homer gave Kevin the win over Danny Laflamme in the seventh game of the final.
In 2021 John Campell's We The North zipped through the regular season to lead with 104 wins, but Erwin Hunke, 98 wins, upset the pennant winners in the playoff final.
Dale Hogg and Chris Pursey set the pace in 2022 and finished with 107 victories to take the pennant and waltzed to the championship in the playoffs.
Erwin Hunke's Lost Tribe romped to the pennant and playoff title in 2023 topping every offensive category while finishing second in ERA and tied for the lead in saves. Even with those impressive stats, however, the defending champs, Dale & Chris, pushed Lost Tribe to a seventh game in the final.
