The Timberwolves have become a juggernaut in the league after once being the known doormat of the family circuit.
After 9 seasons of ownership/management, Janie Daugherty only had a couple finals appearances and a couple players bring home MVP awards to show for it. The other 3 original franchises had already won 2 titles a piece, and two expansion teams had already claimed a crown, thus the term "Wolf Pack Curse" would be used often around the league.
She eventually sold the team to Elijah Curtis, who was hunting for an opportunity to run his own team, and he had actually won the Wolf Pack's first MVP in 2013. The final purchase went for three Yankee Candles, naming rights(Keeping the team name wolf-related), and ownership of the first championship trophy.
It took Elijah just two seasons to accomplish the feat of winning a championship, following a thrilling 7-inning title game against Janie and the Black Mambas in 2021. The Wolves then returned to the title game in 2022 and 2023 behind Elijah's record-shattering seasons but fell just short in both attempts to the Base Bandits. The Wolves would make their fourth straight championship appearance in 2024 and run the tables, as they completed just the second undefeated season in the league's history, behind the stellar bats and defense of Elijah and Raygan Bradley.
