Sutro Tower

The Sutro Tower is an entity in the Peninsula Expansion League located in San Francisco, California. The Sutro Tower is a unique, singular entity formed by a collective of alive cells (compared to the normal team biology of each individual cell being occupied by an individual player). The Sutro Tower is best known for its supernatural abilities. The Tower receives signals from unseen dimensions, and is capable of channeling the spirits of the living and the dead. This ability is said to stem from the tower's proximity to the ghosts of Sutro Forest, a forest on Mount Sutro in San Francsico. They have a famously intense rivalry with the Mountain View Miners (Forty Niner Crown).

Team Character

Sutro Tower is a mystical being that walks the spirit world; it rarely reveals any details about itself. Sutro Tower communicates routinely with ghosts and spirits, and receives signals From Beyond, but no one knows the full extent of its powers, or how it is able to transmit signals To Beyond.

Sutro Tower in the Pseudo Cup

Connection to San Francisco Boat Shoes

When the Hellmouth Cup ended, and a new expansion league was looking for a home, the Commissioner decided to locate the new Peninsula Expansion League on the San Francisco peninsula, as a result of the incredible success of the San Francisco Boat Shoes in the Hellmouth Cup. The Boat Shoes achieved six championship wins, two flawless dynasties, and the longest winning streak of all time, and as a result were rewarded with an expansion league in their back yard.

As the only team located in San Francisco, the Sutro Tower were heavy favorites to dominate the Pseudo Cup and become the spiritual successors to the San Francisco Boat Shoes when the league was first formed. The Tower's first championship came in Pseudo/Season 2 against the Boulder Creek Cardsharps (the Santa's Village Series).

The Forty Niner Crown and Rivalry with Mountain View Miners

The Forty Niner Crown is the name given to the bitter rivalry between the Mountain View Miners and the Sutro Tower. It is one of the biggest rivalries in the Peninsula Expansion League, and the matchup has occurred numerous times in the playoffs.

The feud originated with pre-season media coverage of the Sutro Tower, the heavy favorite to dominate the Pseudo Cup. Mountain View Miners managers and players were frustrated by the media's lack of attention on their brand-new state-of-the-art facilities, and felt it was unfair that they focused on an aging, rusted tower, instead of star players located in other, non-San Franscisco parts of the bay.

After several news conferences, press releases, and public statements by managers and players of the Mountain View Miners , the Miners drew the ire of the Sutro Tower, but also the San Francisco Boat Shoes and residents of the city of San Francisco. Thus began a pre-Season 1 media war that was only suspended when the Commissioner's Office stepped in and imposed heavy fines.

The Sutro Tower winning the Pseudo Cup in Pseudo/Season 2 set the stage for a dramatic Pseudo/Season 3 League Championship Series, in which the Sutro Tower and Mountain View Miners faced off for the San Francisco Bay league pennant. The Miners beat the Sutro Tower in 4 games, took the pennant, and went on to win their first of several championships.

In Pseudo/Season 3 the rivalry was nicknamed the Forty Niner Crown. At Sutro Tower home games, the Mountain View Miners are booed more loudly than any other team in the league.
