The Shoes entered the Rainbow/Season 24 playoffs not as favorites, but as the #4 seed - afterthoughts, tired veterans whose glory days were over in a league full of younger, hungrier teams. The Shoes scratched and clawed their way through the West League Championship, clinching a pennant not with dominance, but with sheer grit, finishing second behind the one team that defined their deepest rivalry: the 
Sacramento Boot Lickers
.
The Rainbow Cup final was therefore loaded with narrative weight. It was one final shot for the 
San Francisco Boat Shoes
, a final showdown with their oldest and most bitter rivals on the grandest stage. This time, there would be no heartbreak, no near misses, and no whisper of a curse. The Boat Shoes played with a masterful blend of wisdom and ferocity, a perfect swansong for their legendary careers. They didn't just win; they dominated. Racking up a massive 68🌈, they exorcised the ghosts of The 159-158 Game and the Delaware Dagger. In their final act, they won their second Rainbow Cup by finishing a glorious 19🌈 ahead of the second-place Boot Lickers. It was the perfect victory: a definitive and deeply satisfying triumph over their greatest rivals.
The matchup came to be known as the Taste of the Tenderloin - an allusion to the beatdown delivered to the Boot Lickers, giving them a taste of San Francisco's roughest neighborhood.
