Around The Town In The IPA

EASTSHORE ELEGANTS
Owner: Clark and Vivien Butler of Tara Plantation, Inc.
GM/Manager: Killer Brewster

Eastshore is a town of 85,000 on the southeast coast of Ruthlandia, situated on the Valerian Ocean, just 50 miles east of Crystal Lake. It was settled by emigres from the American South in the 1870s, who were disillusioned by the post Civil War problems. Agriculture has always been the backbone of the Eastshore economy because of the perfect climate for growning cotton. Cotton is king in Eastshore. The port of Eastshore is one of the Islands busiest and is also a vital part of the area's economy.

Southern charm and hospitality are a way of life here in Eastshore. One would think they were in Savannah or Charleston in the United States, instead of a world away. Moonlight, magnolias and mint juleps are still in vogue at the many plantation homes that inundate the farmlands in the area. The "Old South" is alive and well in Eastshore.

But modern day Eastshore is more friendly than formal. Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you'll be welcomed with true Southern hospitality. Hip and historic, robust and refined, Eastshore is where you'll find amazing architecture, spooky cemeteries and rich history, along with global sophistication, funky night life and fabulous food. It's where history resonates into the present day and where memories are still being made.

Like all of the towns in Islandia, Eastshore loves its baseball and has since it first began in the late 1890s. The community has supported town ball, amateur leagues and industrial leagues down through the years and now have a professional team. The proud owners of the IPA Eastshore Elegants are Clark and Vivian Butler, who own the Tara Plantation, one of the largest cotton plantations in Ruthlandia.

Running the Elegants is renowned hard-hitting slugger of the company leagues, Killer Brewster, one of the most prolific home run hitters of all-time. Eastport plays its games at Kraft Stadium, a modern state-of-the-art stadium built by Kraft Foods in 1995. Since the 1920s Kraft has sponsored teams in company leagues.
