Location: Diamond City
Nickname: Swatters, aka Da Swahhhhhhhtahs - The baby of baseball fanatic Moe Cronin, the Swatters are the name he gave baseball bats for their abilities to crush skulls and swat away speeding bullets, just like the players on the team.
Owner: Moe Cronin
Back Story: Once he was taught the true game of baseball by Nate Howard, Cronin was slightly disappointed but still thirsty for more knowledge. In time, he not only invested all of his caps into baseball, but through multiple investors in Diamond City, he had a team. Of course, there were two benefits. First and foremost, Diamond City was at first located on the real baseball stadium, the Great Green Jewel of Boston. Cronin dealt in baseball equipment which functioned as weapons (waters, aka bats) and armor (catcher's equipment). He also collected baseball cards, so to say that he was born to be a baseball owner in the Commonwealth was quite an understatement. He was also the source of envy since his team would be playing half of their games at the best stadium in the Commonwealth, well, maybe even all of the world.
Stadium: The Great Green Jewel [StLee's note: you readers of this alternate universe would know that very same stadium as the famed Fenway Park, but the people of post-Great War Boston only knew it as the Great Green Jewel. Nate never called it anything else, either, so I can only assume that's what it always was.] - There was not going to be any corporate sponsor changing the name
Location: Egret Tours Marina
Nickname: Scrappers - For the people who sift through piles of junk to build a machine, this team is for them. For the people who don't need 5000 caps to buy parts for a house, this team is for them. Scrappers can find that one working wire, straighten the crooked bolt, conjure victory from nothing, this team is that. Most people made a strange look through the explanation of this team name. Who knows how long that nickname will last?
Owner: Ron Staples
Back Story: Ron Staples has not always been your conventional businessman, but his vision has led to opportunities. While set up at his one-man settlement near Walden Pond, Ron had dreams of being the best bartender in the Commonwealth. At first, Nate must have thought Ron was crazy, but then Nate decided he could use a good bartender at one of his favorite settlements, Egret Tours Marina. Ron agreed and moved there, where he became best friends with Egret Tours Marina matron, Phyllis, which most of the settlers called Old Phyllis. Soon after arriving and setting up the best bar in all of the Southwest on the Egret Tours Marina pier, Ron Staples was voted mayor of Egret Tours Marina. It's not the richest settlement in the Commonwealth and Egret Tours Marina is battling division mate Fairline Hills Estate as one of the poorer squads in the CBO.
Stadium: Old Phyllis Field - Named for Old Phyllis, the original inhabitant of Egret Tours Marina before Nate Howard convinced her to allow a settlement there. Old Phyllis was the best friend of Mayor Ron Staples, but sadly she eventually died of an unknown illness that could not be treated with meds or chems. Ron Staples wanted to name the stadium in honor of Phyllis after he could not secure a corporate sponsor for the stadium.
Location: Fairline Hill Estates
Nickname: Yao Guai - These descendants of America's black bears, the yao guai name came from Chinese in internment camps before the Great War when government entities experimented with compounds to form biological weapons. Armed with sharp teeth and claws, and a vicious attitude, regardless off what their called, yao guai are nothing to mess with.
Owner: Eleanor Scarface
Back Story: Eleanor has been shrouded in mystery, at least from her point-of-view. Rumors have swirled for years that she was the mother to a raider boss, but he got violent, thus the large scar on her face. She settled as an ammo dealer near Fairline Hills Estate and later moved her shop there at the insistence of Nate Howard. In her mid-70s, Eleanor may not have many years left, but she agreed to Nate's suggestion that she take on a team in what will be one of the fastest-growing settlements in the South.
Stadium: Yao Guai Circle - Built right in the middle of a small but growing settlement directly south of the Great Green Jewel, Yao Guai Circle fits precisely in the circular park of Fairline Hills Estate. Eleanor could not secure a corporate sponsor since there are no corporate headquarters nearby and many in the Commonwealth fail to put their trust or faith in Eleanor. Some rumors have swirled of corporate interests that may more easily ignore Eleanor's gangster past, but for right now, the Yao Guai name remains.
