Phil Jackson and John Bullock started playing darts in the Minute Man Dart League from its inception in 1974 and played continuously for 80 seasons of league darts. In addition to being among the very best players of their generation, each have made numerous contributions to the league throughout their careers as ambassadors of the sport and helped lay the foundation that made the MMDL the world-renowned and respected organization that it is today. We salute these legends of the game without whom the league would never have been the same.
The Minute Man Dart League wants to extend our thanks and gratitude to these outstanding individuals for their loyalty, commitment and service, and hereby dedicate the Spring 2015 season and its championship playoffs in their honor.
