Fort Richmond, Norfolk
Fort Richmond is the nation’s military center. Braeland’s Department of Defense, Amoruy and Military Academy are all located here and life in Fort Richmond revolves around the armed services. Perhaps due to its military sensibilities, the city is noted for its immaculately kept appearance, with stately homes and manicured parks dominating one neighbourhood after another. Only Braeland City rivals Fort Richmond in its regal appearance. But Fort Richmond is also the gateway to Amethyst National Park, the largest park and nature reserve on the island which draws in hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
Fort Richmond’s ball club is appropriately named the ‘Generals’, and will play at Generals Stadium.
1937 Training Camp Record: 16-12, 2nd place in WL.
1937-38 Projected Finish: 64-90, 37 GB, 7th place in WL.
Minor League System Ranking: 16th.
What the pundits are saying:
Quote:
“Fort Richmond is projected to challenge Hespeler in a race to the bottom of the Western League standings, and it’s not hard to see why. The Generals are rated just 7th in runs scored (642) and 5th in runs against/ERA (739/4.19). On the pitching side of things, the team would appear to have an ace in RHP Francis Slocock (70/71). Their #2 pitcher will be RHP Tristan Purss (56/57), who is projected to have a top-10 performance (15-15, 3.27). In the bullpen, their main go-to guy will be RHP Kantaro Sumtra (74/74). The rest of the staff will be little more than scrubs. The lineup however, has even more question marks, if that’s possible. The only two players of note is RF Tyler Bainbridge (75/75), who is projected to hit .310, with 15 HRs, 81 RBIs and 14 SB, and LF Héctor Nájera (79/79). Problem is, Bainbridge will turn 39 the day after Opening Day, and Nájera, who is already on the DL for two more weeks with a high ankle sprain, will turn 40 in November. When your two best position players are closer to the end of their careers, and your best prospect is a middling reliever pitcher (RHP Darren Whiteley, 55/57), you know you have problems. It will be nothing short of a miracle if the Generals somehow manage to reach .500 this season, never mind a playoff spot.”
