Around the Town in the IPA

WYNNAMAC SUNDOWNERS

Owner: Granger Co-Operative Association
GM/Manager: Jerry Meeks

Wynnamac is a town of 86,000 residents and can be found about 50 miles inland from the Valerian Ocean, which is near the eastern coast of Ruthlandia. It is located in the northeastern part of the country in the Central Plains, which spans east to west across it and is a well-known farming region, filled with seemingly endless fields of ripe golden wheat and rustic farms. It is the "Breadbasket of Ruthlandia". Settled by a diverse band of hearty and hardworking Canadian and Australian immigrants, who worked "sunup to sundown". They became known as "Sundowners" because of their great work ethic and love for the land...and for their love of baseball and the homestanding Wynnamac Sundowners. The area is also a center for meat packing and dairy industries.

Life hasn't changed much here for several hundred years and probably won't change much in the next hundred years. Wynnamac is a member of the IPA's Ruthlandian East Division. The club plays at Granger Field, which is built right next to a grain processing plant with huge silos and a water tower with a gigantic ear of corn on it...all visible from the ballpark. The Sundowners are owned by the Granger Co-operative Association, farmers banded together for the common good and welfare.

At the concession stands you get nothing fancy...just soda pop, hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, peanuts, crackerjacks and ice cream. However, they do serve a gourmet delicacy, a roasted ear of corn slathered in butter... mayonnaise, too, if you like...No beer or alcoholic beverages are permitted at the stadium. It is against the law in Wynnamac county and strictly enforced.

Wynnamac's General Manager and Field Manager is 81-year-old Jerry Meeks, the famed Sundowner southpaw, who piled up a 313-214 record with an outstanding 2.93 career ERA... in 2013 he captured the Ruthlandian Most Valuable Player Award and also the RU Golden Arm trophy... Meeks played in Wynnamac his entire career from 2008 to 2028 and was named to the IPA Hall of Fame in 2029... he took command of the Macs in 2050 and thus far has captured 9 RU East pennants and one Pro Cup trophy (2055)... Meeks is going to retire after this season... another Sundowner superstar and Hall-of-Famer Nioka Inkamara will take charge of the baseball operations and he will also be the skipper... Inkamara had a colossal career in the IPA, playing with Wynnamac the first 12 years and the final two with the Bayview Vikings of the Tycobbian West... his career covered the period 2038 to 2051... Inkamara boasted a .303 lifetime BA with 488 home runs and 1385 RBIs... he was voted into the Islandian Pro Alliance Hall of Fame in 2057... Inkamara was a 5-time All-Star, 3-time Ruthlandian MVP, 2-time Golden Glove and the 2039 RU Rookie of the Year.
