Miracle Slicks

The Miracle Slicks is the nickname applied to the Dragon/Season 10 RS.png Richmond Slicks , who captured the franchise's first-ever championship title, and whose performance in Dragon/Season 10/Postseason is considered the most clutch single-season postseason performance by any team in Golly history. The Slicks, despite a disappointing season, managed to squeak into the postseason as the #4 seed. In the postseason, they continued to have underwhelming run production, but they somehow still managed to advance, winning many of their games by razor-thin margins, in defiance of the Big Runs strategy espoused by most Dragon Cup teams.

The Slicks faced the FFR.png Freedom Fries in the Dragon Cup final, and again relied on their wits and their strategies, winning three of their four games by small margins. By the time the Slicks won the championship in Game 5, they had scored the least number of runs of any team that had ever appeared in a Dragon Cup, win or lose (see Records/Points#Least Points in a Dragon Cup Series). The unlikely series of events leading to the Slicks making it to the postseason, and their clutch performances in narrow games, led to their nickname, The Miracle Slicks.

It is widely agreed that the Miracle Slicks, with their unique penchant for dramatic situations, high pressure, and clutch postseason wins, fundamentally and forever changed the way the splort of Golly was played and enjoyed.
