First appearing in ""How Do You Spell Revenge?"", the New Market Mallers was Al's softball team, with whom Al was MVP three times. The entire Bundy family played for the team, as a way to get some sun and exercise, though for Al and Bud, its to avoid spending Sundays with grandma Wanker. He had joined the team on May 6, 1982, when they were 0-10 and helped them win, calling it the "Bundy Era" and he was the MVP, for things such as catching the ball when Norris froze in place or when he tackled one of the toughest pitchers, Mrs. Shephouse, effectively ending her softball career. Though as Smith points out, even with their wins, the teams has never made it to the championship game.
