Location: Nordhagen Beach
Nickname: Party Boys - Named for the laissez-faire attitude many young people of the Commonwealth have, the Party Boys are representative of their cosmopolitan owner and the sheer number of beach parties happening all nights of the week.
Owner: Emogene Cabot
Back Story: Emogene has been a long-time "girl of society" among the Boston elite. With her secret formula for staying young, many suppose Emogene is older than the war, but she will never tell. Given the prospect of purchasing a place of her own away from her mother and brother's mansion, Emogene built a luxury mansion of her own at Nordhagen and started purchasing extra land across from the Nordhagen Beach settlement where a baseball park was built. Convinced that she would be blessed with an army of handsome young men, Emogene continued her dreams of having a lover or seventeen, and purchased the rights to the Party Boys franchise.
Stadium: Red Rocket Station - Kasumi Nakano, who once left her family for the synth compound Acadia in Far Harbor, followed Nate's advice to use her electrical skills to start her own business upon her return to the Commonwealth. Leaving her family's fishing home just north of Mahkra Fishpacking Plant and with an agreement with Nate that she would convert the Commonwealth's Red Rocket stations into an electrical repair franchise--focused on refrigeration, cooling, radios, and machinery, Kasumi soon built a thriving business. Her first shop opened in Nahant, which was not as far a travel to visit her aging parents as headquarters in Downtown Boston would be. Since Nahant was only a short boat ride from Nordhagen Beach, Kasumi happily tossed her caps into Emogene's hat.
Location: Salem
Nickname: Witch Hats - Owner Barney Rook described Salem to Bostoners as the "place with all the witch hats." People of the Commonwealth then started referring to Salem as that place, leaving off Rook's other descriptions of Salem, like the "place with all the ******* mirelurks, too." Witch Hats became one of Nate's favorite team names as soon as it was proposed.
Owner: Barney Rook
Back Story: Old Barney has been defending the wastes of Salem for a long time. As the ambassador and mayor of the new Salem settlement, Rook agreed to "let the kids play their stupid games in the street." Instead, a beautiful park built on the coast that doubled as a well-armed lookout post for Barney gave birth to the northeasternmost CBO franchise.
Stadium: The Coven of Salem - No corporations agreed to sponsor the stadium, probably since Salem is the most northeastern franchise, far away from Downtown Boston. Nate Howard helped out by tossing his own caps Salem's way, asking that the stadium be called The Coven. Most of the settlers were unsure what it meant but appreciated having an opportunity for a baseball park.
Location: The Slog
Nickname: Ghouls - When people think of ghouls in the Commonwealth, they realize there are two kinds, the unfortunate ones and the feral ones. While the feral ghouls terrorize the Commonwealth through their zombie-like desire for eating human guts, the unfortunate ghouls are just discriminated against because of their unsightly skin. Either way, people are intimidated by ghouls, which makes the team nickname a formidable one.
Owner: Mr. Wiseman, aka Wiseman, aka Wiseman Slog
Back Story: Being the top man of the tarberry farms in the ghoul town of the Commonwealth, The Slog, Wiseman was a wise choice to take over the franchise. While ghoul relations have become better since the ghouls were kicked out of Diamond City by then-mayor McDonough, Nate Howard has spent significant time preventing ghoul discrimination. Nate was a major proponent in opening up trading channels for tarberries throughout the Commonwealth and shut down some independent farmers looking to cut into The Slog's profits. As the leading tarberry farming community in the Commonwealth, The Slog provided an ideal location for a diverse baseball fanhood.
Stadium: Tarberry Fields Forever - As a suggestion from Nate, Wiseman agreed to self-sponsor his own stadium and followed the name Nate picked. Wiseman was not sure what the name meant, but Nate seemed to hum every time someone mentioned the name.
