Location: Oberland Station / Graygarden
Nickname: T-51s - The most advanced power armor before the Great War, the T-51 suit is known for its nearly impenetrable defense, durability, and stamina, all qualities expected of its players.
Owner: August Oberland
Back Story: August Oberland took her family name based on the settlement at Oberland Station where she became mayor. In conjunction with the robot farming settlement of Greygarden, August created a useful trading post over the northern and southern shores of the Charles River. August also worked out a deal to build the stadium in a more open space near Greygarden since the land surrounding the Oberland Station settlement is hilly and covered in trees. Since Oberland Station is one of the smaller settlements in the Commonwealth, it will be one of the teams that will need multiple investors for future financial success.
Stadium: Graygarden Park - With the success of the robots manning Greygarden, baseball in the area seemed like a perfect location. It is one of the areas easier to defend since it sits atop a large hill, and it is a short hike from Oberland Station. Many of the Oberland Station settlers travel to Graygarden often anyway for picking up their food supplies.
Location: Shaw High School
Nickname: Knuckle Punchers - This pugilistic marvel epitomizes the qualities in a strong man: brave, ruthless, and topless. These iron-fisted warriors do not need high-powered laser rifles to take down a deathclaw. No, they just need a good, old-fashioned knuckle sandwich delivered to its gaping jaw.
Owner: Arlen Glass
Back Story: One of the original partners of Wilson Atomatoys, the ghoulified Arlen Glass decided to change the new Commonwealth in his old ways: making toys for children. Instead of the toy rust buckets that formerly dotted the Commonwealth lands, Arlen and his helpers were able to get the Atomatoys factory up and running again, providing all the kids of the Commonwealth with their very own Giddyup Buttercup. While the corporate HQ lies in downtown Boston and the factory is near Quincy, Arlen grew to love the game of baseball and felt that owning a baseball team would require him to turn over operations of Atomatoys. This time, instead of being let go by a sniveling brat, he retired from the business and used his buyout to purchase the Knuckle Punchers.
Stadium: Atomatoys Stadium - Sponsored by Arlen Glass's old company, the stadium is the one kids' most want to visit. Of all the stadiums built in the Commonwealth, Atomatoys Stadium is the only one that features a Kids' Zone. In the Kids' Zone, rambunctious children can jump across sharp metal planks onto rusty metal planks, slide head first into broken beer bottles, and do other fun things their parents would never let them do, all while their parents get hammered and watch baseball.
Location: Vault 81
Nickname: Dwellers - These underground unexplorers have assumed the royalty role of the Commonwealth, considering their lot always to have been better than those above ground. The Dwellers are known for being creative, innovative, and hella good at passing the G.O.A.T.
Owner: Dr. Jacob Forsythe
Back Story: Forsythe got acquainted with Nate Howard after Howard saved young Austin Engill from a near-fatal encounter from some lab-created molerats. Later Forsythe became acquainted with Nate's companion Marie Curie, whom he did not know lived merely feet away from him for many years. After Nate tamed the Commonwealth, Forsythe and Curie worked together researching deadly diseases and formulating treatments and cures, hoping to extend the lives of human wastelanders. Their research brought in a lot of caps for Vault 81, and Forsythe reinvested those caps in the Dweller baseball franchise.
Stadium: McNamara Park - Named after the overseer (that's like the mayor of an underground vault) of Vault 81, McNamara Park was possible thanks to Vault 81 being one of the richer settlements in all of the Commonwealth. From Forsythe and Curie's miracle cures, plenty of caps flowed through the vault. Though McNamara was not interested in baseball, she was happy to know she would be the namesake of the Vault 81 baseball stadium built west of the vault along the Charles River.
