Before I get to introducing the Minnesota Nocturnauts here in this thread, I'll digress a little and note other sports-related matters, primarily related to the other three major North American sports of football, basketball, and hockey. While Major League Baseball does not yet exist as of February 1947 in this dynasty's timeline, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association do, and the National Hockey League do, at least.

Several of the owners already mentioned, or which will be mentioned, in this thread will also own at least parts, if not all, of certain franchises in the NFL, NBA, and/or NHL. Where that is the case, I will note that as necessary and appropriate and all, of course.

At the present time, there are 20 teams in the NFL, 10 in the NBA, and 10 in the NHL as follows:

National Football League:

National Football Conference:

Eastern Division:

Chicago Bears
Detroit Lions
New York Giants
Philadelphia Eagles
Washington Redskins

Western Conference:

Green Bay Packers
Los Angeles Rams
Minnesota Vikings
St. Louis Cardinals
San Francisco 49'ers

American Football Conference:

Eastern Division:

Baltimore Colts
Boston Patriots
Cleveland Browns
New York Jets
Pittsburgh Steelers

Western Division:

Denver Broncos
Houston Oilers
Kansas City Chiefs
Oakland Raiders
San Diego Chargers

The current NFL Champion as of February 3, 1947 is the Green Bay Packers, after having defeated first the Bears in the NFC championship game, and then the Pittsburgh Steelers, who defeated the Oakland Raiders in the AFC championship, in the NFL Championship Game. The Super Bowl will not exist until after the United States Football League is eventually formed, probably sometime within the next 20 to 25 years, at most.

The AAFC never exists, or at least not as of yet, in this world's timeline, in terms of rival professional football leagues.
Other pro football leagues will exist, and have teams with more familiar names for them. Which leagues and which teams those are, you will have to wait and see what the future holds here, of course.

As for the National Basketball Association, its current configuration is as follows:

Eastern Conference:

Baltimore Bullets (Will eventually move to Washington and remain as the Bullets forever in this timeline)
Boston Celtics
New York Knicks (AKA Knickerbockers)
Philadelphia Warriors (Will eventually move to the Bay Area and be known as the Golden State Warriors decades later)
Syracuse Nationals (Will eventually move to Philadelphia and become the Philadelphia 76'ers)

Western Conference:

Chicago Bulls
Cincinnati Royals (Will eventually move to Kansas City and become the Kansas City Kings, where they will then stay forever in this timeline, most likely, as such)
Detroit Pistons
Minnesota Lakers (Will remain in Minnesota forever as the Lakers in this timeline)
St. Louis Eagles (Will never move or change their name in this timeline)

The 1946-47 season is currently in progress, but the most recent champion is the Baltimore Bullets after having defeated the Detroit Pistons in six games in the most recent NBA Finals.

Other basketball leagues will later appear, as well. Which ones, and with what teams, will be revealed later, as possible and all.

As for the National Hockey League, it currently has ten teams in two conferences as follows:

Eastern Conference:

Boston Bruins
Montreal Canadiens
New York Rangers
Ottawa Senators
Quebec Nordiques

Western Conference:

Chicago Blackhawks
Detroit Red Wings
Minnesota North Stars
St. Louis Blues
Toronto Maple Leafs

The 1946-47 season is currently in progress, with the most recent champion being the Montreal Canadiens, after having defeated the Detroit Red Wings in five games for the most recent Stanley Cup Finals after the 1945-46 regular season.

Other hockey leagues will appear later, as this dynasty's world's timeline develops and warrants and all. I do not yet know if I will simulate any seasons for the NHL and/or other leagues with the assistance of any of my FHM games, but we'll see if I do.

We will begin to have World Series results only after Major League Baseball is formed, but until it is, we will primarily focus on the existing leagues, and the people involved in them, where and when possible and appropriate and all, of course, folks. I am not quite sure yet how to set up Major League Baseball, in terms of THIS dynasty, but hopefully I'll have a much better idea by the time we finish the current calendar year here. Please stay tuned. Thank you. That is all for now, I think. CD out.
