The Detroit Grape Chews earned the title of Hot League Choke Artists in the Hellmouth Cup. Despite consistently making a strong showing in the regular season and making appearances in the postseason, the Chews repeatedly choked in critical moments, earning them the Choke Artist nickname. The Chews continued to earn their reputation, and the nickname stuck - permanently. Throughout the course of the Hellmouth Cup, the Chews lost seven League Championship series, failing to clinch a pennant seven times:

• San Francisco Boat Shoes (Season 1 LCS), lost in 5
• San Francisco Boat Shoes (Season 3 LCS), lost in 4
• Sacramento Boot Lickers (Season 4 LCS), lost in 5
• Alewife Arsonists (Season 8), swept in 3
• Alewife Arsonists (Season 11), lost in 4
• Delaware Corporate Shells (Season 15), lost in 4
• Alewife Arsonists (Season 19), lost in 5

(Note that this is only considering losses in the League Championship Series, and does not account for losses in the League Division Series.)
