The Exhibitionists joined the Bug Nut League for Season #2, forming half of their team with players from the Berkeley Dreamers. Featuring awesome power and formidable pitching, Paris has been the most powerful force in the Bumble Nut East Division since joining the league. Paris has won their division in both of their full seasons, losing to Berkeley in the Season #2 playoffs, and getting past Tombstone in the Season #4 playoffs. Continuing on to the Mission on Thunderhead, the Exhibitionists captured their first championship by defeating an overmatched New York City entry from the Blood Nut League. The victory marked the third different Mission on Thunderhead winner in as many contests, all coming from the Bug Nut League.

Always known for good trades and excellent draft picks, Paris has few weaknesses and a lineup that features Norman Rockwell, Henri "Lou" Matisse, and Albert Bierstadt, who each finished in the top ten in batting average, along with James K. Polk, and Andy Warhol. Warhol and Rockwell finished second and third in runs scored, while Matisse and Bierstadt finished third and fourth in runs batted in. Sharing right field with Vincent Van Gogh is one of the strongest arms in the league, the legendary "Mookie" Rembrandt. Rembrandt is the man who hit a grand slam in his very first plate appearance with Berkeley in Season #1, and a two-run blast in his second appearance. The top two starters on the mound for Paris are Geronimo and strike out specialist Auguste Rodin, who was the most valuable player in the playoffs and Mission on Thunderhead of Season #4.

The lineup heading into Season #5 will look much like the formidable lineup that terrorized teams in Season #4, with the only decline in the form of a near-retired James Polk. To compensate for the retirement of starting pitcher Sandro Boticelli, Paris may have made the steal of the Chump Draft when they selected Rocco Destefano with pick number 28 out of 30. Destefano should get a spot in the rotation, filling the void left by Boticelli. The bullpen will continue to be led by Henri Rousseau, Claude Monet, and Edgar Degas.
