The Nuka Tour
Your introduction to Nuka-World and Bradberton
by Evan Guy
22 May 2299 - Part 2: Dry Rock Gulch
Team name: Dark Bloodworms
Stadium: Ol' Sugartop Ballpark at Dry Rock Gulch
Team President: Peter Park
Peter loves the money. He spends a lot of time with his wife Chelsea and sister-in-law Cora. Peter came to love baseball thanks to watching games from traveling caravan groups. He may not know a lot about the game just yet, but he is an enthusiast when it comes to baseball and loves to run a business. Nate Howard recommended him to John-Caleb Bradberton as a good fit as a Team President to go along with running the Dry Rock Gulch park.
Team Nickname: Bloodworms
From:
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Bloodworm
Originally an aquatic species, these bloodworms (order Glycera) steadily migrated from the coastal waters of the Atlantic coast after mutating, and have made their homes in the dry and dusty wasteland. Despite a total change in habitat, bloodworms have retained two of their original traits. The first of these is their burrowing ability; instead of burrowing into wet sand and silt, their four hollow jaws have become adept at plowing through the tough and dried soil. They use this ability quite a bit, ambushing prey from beneath the surface, and then returning underground to catch their prey unaware again. They hunt prey, are roughly four to five feet (120 to 150 centimeters) long, and can attack creatures equal to or larger than themselves.
Bloodworms that have mutated since the Great War, they are now approximately the size of an adult human being and have spines on the outside of their body in addition to their four-pronged maw. These worms react to the presence of intruders in their territory and will charge the intruders by burrowing through the dirt at high speeds. Upon reaching their prey, they will lunge forth from the ground and attempt to bite their target.
Bloodworm larvae will also inhabit the corpses of large prey, such as brahmin, and come out of the corpse to attack any new prey that wanders by. These brahmin can be spotted from a distance if watched, as they will twitch and bulge slowly.

Players to Watch
SP Tim LeBlanc (4-0, 0,26)
Drafted in the 5th round of the 2299 Inaugural Draft, LeBlanc has been dominant from the start. In 10 starts, he has yet to lose, and has allowed only two earned runs in 68.1 innings pitched. While the NWL is struggling to hit the ball, LeBlanc is going even beyond other pitchers in stopping opponents dead. In fact, the only reason his record is not better is because Dark cannot score runs when he is on the mound.
2B Roger Darn (.241/1/4)
One of only two Bloodworms hitting over .200, Darn was taken in the 26th round of the Inaugural Draft. A rangy second baseman, Darn has used his above average speed to help him leg out a few infield singles and take an extra base on balls slightly in the gap.
