Delaware Torches Detroit refers to the Klein/Season 2 League Championship Series, widely considered to be one of the greatest comebacks in Golly history. In the first 3 games of the best-of-7 League Championship series, the Delaware Corporate Shells were completely dominated by the Detroit Grape Chews . The Chews completely shut down the Shells in the first game, 852-0, and won the next two games by wide margins of victory (90% or more). The Chews were looking to finally break their curse, clinch a pennant for the first time, and play in their first Cup game ever, after over a hundred seasons without a pennant.
But in Game 4 ( d9d6a129-1d9c-4ae5-8913-73fb77141107), the Shells knocked the Chews back on their heels. The Shells took another victory in Game 5 ( c8a93a92-7ad0-4f45-b29d-9341ea2f1ece), and in Game 6 ( c8c9c4e5-00af-410d-9483-ba6b15876a22), the Shells finally muscled their way to victory over the Chews in a dramatic back and forth battle that lasted 11,453 generations. In the final game of the series, Game 7 ( 1b0310b8-e410-4817-aed6-3b927baa74a5), the Shells quickly overpowered the Chews, sealing the greatest Championship Series comeback in Golly history, clinching the Hot League pennant, and sending the Shells to the Klein Cup, where they beat the Seattle Sneakers in 5 games.
Many Choke Artist scholars and Golly historians consider this Championship series to be the single greatest choke of all time.
