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.
Team Character
Sutro Tower is a mysterious and spiritual being that rarely shares details or insights 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
(nicknamed the Christmas Cup).
The 1849 Crown and Rivalry with Mountain View Miners
The 1849 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 a repeat LCS matchup.
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. It was in Pseudo/Season 3 that the rivalry was nicknamed the 1849 Crown.
