One of the first Crossovers to the Outposts, Harold Gentry led a great deal of exploration of the continent, and as his legend grows, the amount of land he and his scouts supposedly covered grows even faster. Gentry died in a landslide near the site of the city that now bears his name, and a statue of him stands at the entrance to Gentry Field. He has become something of a mythic figure around the Outposts, and to call someone "Gentry" is to call them flighty, daring, groundbreaking and antisocial all at once.

The Scouts have two things going for them: Broderick Earl and a whole lot of first baseman talent. Earl's a 26-year old ace, and the first base talent is personified in 17-year old Brandon Dixon and 26-year old Tarise Ellis, who'll be keeping the spot warm while Dixon learns the ropes. Two of Gentry Hills' top prospects are also first basemen. It's a shame they don't have much else. Roland Harrington is a solid third baseman, but that's pretty much the end of it. It'll be a rough first few years for the Gentry Hills squad. Player-manager Gilbert Evans is going to have his hands full running the team.
