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.

The intense rivalry with the MVM.png Mountain View Miners (Forty Niner Crown) is one of the most famous Crowns in the Peninsula League.

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 SFBS.png 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 SFBS.png San Francisco Boat Shoes when the league was first formed. The Tower's first championship came in Pseudo/Season 2 against the BCC.png 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 MVM.png Mountain View Miners and the ST.png 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 MVM.png Mountain View Miners and the ST.png 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 before Pseudo/Season 1 had begun (thanks to their connections with the SFBS.png San Francisco Boat Shoes organization), were receiving a great deal of favorable pre-season media coverage.

Managers and players on the Mountain View Miners 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 to make the case that they were being unfairly ignored by the media, but their repeated calls and angry voicemails were ignored.

The Miners took out a full-page newspaper ad calling the Sutro Tower an aging and rusty old radio 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 whined about the media's need to focus on the many outstanding and talented non-San Francisco teams in the Bay Area.

The crybaby tactics of the Miners drew the ire of many - not just the Sutro Tower, but also the SFBS.png 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, magazines, postcard mailing campaigns, church bulletin ads, podcasts, and cameo ads by minor celebrities.

The feud had reached a fever pace before the Pseudo Cup had even begun, and threatened to eclipse the drama of the Pseudo Cup and smother it before it could take off. 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, following the San Francisco media conflagration between the MVM.png Mountain View Miners and the ST.png Sutro Tower , the rivalry was christened the Forty Niner Crown. It is so named because both teams' clubhouses are located on 49th Street of their respective cities.

Pseudo Cup Season 3 League Championship Series

In Pseudo/Season 1 the Forty Niner Crown stayed relatively quiet. However, when the ST.png Sutro Tower won the Pseudo Cup in Pseudo/Season 2, the stage was set for a dramatic postseason showdown between the Tower and the MVM.png Mountain View Miners two teams in the Pseudo/Season 3 League Championship Series. The Sutro Tower, looking to become the fastest champions to claim repeat victories in any Cup, faced off against the Miners, who had the opportunity to deny their rivals the glory of back-to-back championship appearances.

The Miners beat the Sutro Tower 3 games to 1, clinched the pennant, then clinched the Pseudo Cup championship - their first of several championships, in what would eventually become a Flawless Dynasty.

Acoustic Study

At the conclusion of Pseudo/Season 24, an acoustic analysis published by the Sound & Auditory Analysis Department (SAAD) in E Division showed that the MVM.png Mountain View Miners are booed longer and more loudly by ST.png Sutro Tower fans than any other team being booed by home team fans of any matchups in any league, anywhere.
