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.
Pre-Season 1 Mountain View Miners Media Frenzy
The feud between the Mountain View Miners and Sutro Tower is a feud older than the Pseudo Cup itself.
The feud started when the Sutro Tower, the heavy favorite to dominate the Pseudo Cup, were receiving favorable pre-season media coverage. Mountain View Miners
managers and players were frustrated by the media's unfair treatment and the lack of attention given to the Miners' brand-new state-of-the-art facilities.
The Miners contacted media outlets, newspapers, and television statements, making repeated public statements claiming the Miners were unfairly ignored by the media, and calling the Sutro Tower an aging and rusty old tower whose best days were far behind it. Further adding insult to injury, the Miners claimed that any player of the Miners team was capable of outrunning the Sutro Tower in a footrace across Sutro Forest. The Miners loudly insisted in a whiny voice that the media focus on other outstanding and talented non-San Francisco teams in the Bay Area.
While their whining crybaby tactics were effective for the Miners in getting their opinions heard, the Miners drew the ire of many - not just the Sutro Tower, but also the San Francisco Boat Shoes
, the powerful San Francisco Boat Shoes Political Action Machine, and every resident of the city of San Francisco. This began a media war that preceded Season 1 and played out over television, sports talk radio, internet streams, social media, and podcasts. The feud became so dramatic that it threatened to eclipse the first-ever season of the Pseudo Cup.
The media frenzy was brought to a prompt end when the Commissioner's Office stepped in and imposed heavy fines on both teams and demanded a media blackout.
Forty Niner Crown Nickname
In Pseudo/Season 1 the rivalry took on the Forty Niner Crown nickname.
Pseudo Cup Season 3 League Championship Series
Pseudo/Season 1 stayed relatively quiet between the two teams. But with the Sutro Tower winning the Pseudo Cup in Pseudo/Season 2, the stage was set for a dramatic postseason showdown between the two teams in the Pseudo/Season 3 League Championship Series, in which the Sutro Tower, looking to become the fastest repeat champions in any Cup, faced off against their rivals the Mountain View Miners
for the San Francisco Bay pennant.
The Miners beat the Sutro Tower 3 games to 1, clinched the pennant, and also clinched the championship - their first of several in what would become a flawless dynasty.
Acoustic Study
At the conclusion of Pseudo/Season 24, an acoustic analysis published by E Division showed that the Mountain View Miners
are booed longer and more loudly by Sutro Tower fans than any other team being booed by home team fans of any matchups, period.
