In honor of one of my favorite sports players ever, Drew Brees. He officially retired today.
The Nuka Tour
Your introduction to Nuka-World and Bradberton
by Evan Guy
26 June 2299 - Part 2: Grandchester Mystery Mansion
Team name: Cherry Ghoulrillas
Stadium: Grandchester Mystery Mansion Park
Team President: Kali Dunmore
Kali is the daughter of Brett Dunmore and Monique Dunmore, former Gunners who took up residence outside of Nuka-World. When Nuka-World reopened, she was eager to be the manager of the Grandchester Mystery Mansion. She does not usually enter the facilities, spooked by the "living" ghost inhabiting it. However, she did open a beautiful office in the Grandchester Mystery Mansion Park grandstand where she makes most of her executive decisions.
Her parents run one of the area's largest homesteads, growing multiple crops for the Bradberton/Nuka-World area. On top of that, the former Gunners were key contributors to Nate Howard's Operation Open Season, taking pleasure in blasting away fleeing raiders when Howard opened fire on Nuka-Town USA. The Dunmores believed that the raider lifestyle was a plague and desired a united and civilized wasteland.
Team Nickname: Ghoulrillas
The ghoulrilla is a ghoulified gorilla living in Nuka-World. They are most likely offspring of the original gorillas kept in the Safari Adventure zone of the park. Years of radiation have turned them into ghoulish creatures.
Ghoulrillas are very similar in appearance to gorillas. However, these have scabs and scratches located around the body, with scraps of fur torn out as well. Their face is very rough and worn, with many skinless patches. The eyes are very dark or lacking pupils. Their size varies.

Players to Watch
LF Andre Garden (.260/15/48)
Drafted in the 26th round, #207 overall, in the 2299 NWL Inaugural Draft, Garden has been a pleasant surprise as a draft steal. The NWL leader in home runs and RBI, Garden is the offensive push the Ghoulrillas need to stay in most games. Garden may also be one of the best defensive outfielders in the NWL, making him a potential MVP. He is also quick, which could mean an eventual move to CF. At 30, he is in his league, but the NWL will be happy to have him the next 5-10 years.
SP Justin Hodges (9-3, 1.62)
Another of the top pitchers selected, the first pitchers were not taken until the 4th round when every team selected one. Hodges was the 7th pitcher taken in that round. Scouted as a reliever--originally by the CBO, which he passed on--because of his strong arm, Hodges has been working harder than any other to move past his fastball-slider array to add a developing curveball, forkball, and changeup. Hodges currently leads the NWL in wins and is 5th in ERA, making him a potential Nuka Cannon Award winner.
