FORT BENTON DEFENDERS

Owner: General Paddy George
GM/Manager: Robbie Brooks

Fort Benton, a military town of 62,000, is located in the rugged west central part of Ruthlandia in the Silver Mountains, which forms the western border of the country. Situated on the only land route into the country, Frontier Pass, and just east of the Tycobbian border town, East Point, Fort Benton is named for the garrison and fort that has protected the nation from invaders from the west down through the years. It is still a military training base and site of the Army College, famed for its military research and tactical innovations.

It is also the home of the Fort Benton Defenders of the Ruthlandian Union West Division, named in honor of the soldiers that have so long defended the nation. The team plays at a quaint old ballpark, Old Fortress Park, where the outfield walls are formed from the original stone walls and watchtowers of the old fort. Every time the home team hits a homer, an honor guard of soldiers fires a cannon shot for every run scored on the home run.

The Defenders are owned, operated and commanded by the former general of the Ruthlandian Armed Forces and lifelong resident of Fort Benton, General Patty George. Defender players are never out of shape or pampered...the General makes certain of that.

The General has his own thoughts about pampering fans, too. He says his philosophy is you come to watch a ballgame, not to eat, drink and be merry. Therefore the concessions are quite soldierly and Spartan at Old Fortress Stadium: hot dogs, cokes, hamburgers, peanuts, Crackerjacks, Baby Ruth candy bars and popcorn. Period. No alcoholic beverages are allowed by the teetotaling General. He doesn’t allow the players to have beards or facial hair, either.

The Ft. Benton Defenders are managed by Robbie Brooks, who also serves as the General Manager. Brooks was the finest fielding third baseman ever produced in Ruthlandian company leagues.
