Baltimore was understandably furious with the Commissioner. First, the Commissioner had slated their local team for incineration; then, the Commissioner stuck them with a replacement team, the Baltimore Piano Tuners , staffed by Baltimore's bitter Texas Crown rivals. With the added insult of the Commissioner prematurely incinerating the Texas, many fans began the sad and solemn search for a new team that was not the Piano Tuners.
Baltimore fans were angry that "Ten Ten" would not be a solemn holiday to commemorate the Baltimore Texas, but instead would be a celebration of everything the Baltimore Texas weren't - being alive, being winners, and being un-incinerated.
Residents of Baltimore city-wide began a Beef Campaign to start Beef with the Commissioner. A Beef Parade was organized, in which effigies of the Commissioner were assembled from fish guts, roundly booed the entire parade route, and tossed into the ocean at the end. This parade also marked the first day of the Baltimore Piano Tuners season. The Mayor of Baltimore officially declared the Commissioner of Golly persona non grata within the city limits, and spent nearly an hour insulting the Baltimore Piano Tuners team.
