The Mindland Brains, representing individuals from the fields of neurology and brain science, were created on December 17, 1998 in Silver Spring, Maryland. Unfortunately the Brains' first season did not go very well and they finished the 1999 season in the basement of the Underleague. Sometimes it takes a season or two for a new team to get its bearings on the cosmic field of play.
For Season 2000 the Brains replaced the departed pitcher Wilhelm Reich with John C. Lilly, a well-regarded neuroscientist.
