News and Notes - Reports from around the Commonwealth

21 November 2297 - Obstinate Obstinant Ohmed
Easy Town reliever Geoff Obstinant partially lived up to his namesake when he would not let a radstorm get in the way of his fishing trip.
Obstinant, who is often seen wearing a pre-War "I'd rather be fishing" t-shirt, ignored warnings from Brotherhood of Steel officials just west of Boston Airport in the Harbor.
While Obstinant was fishing in the radstorm, lightning struck near him, electrocuting him. Brotherhood security quickly aided him and moved him into the airport for medical treatment.
Obstinant was said to be responsive but in a lot of pain at that time. There is no word how serious his injuries are and if it will affect his baseball career.
Obstinant only pitched one inning in the 2997 season for the Asssaultrons. In his two appearances, he allowed three earned runs on four hits with a walk and a strikeout for a 27.00 ERA.
22 November 2297 - Party Boys Rookie Attacked
Nordhagen Beach Party Boys first-round draft pick Er Temptation joined a group of friends on a bender in Downtown Boston. Following a day of drinking and cahooting in Goodneighbor, Temptation and friends decided they would walk to Swan's Pond in Boston Common.
On their way, though, they encountered a feral man who attacked them, injuring Temptation in the process.
"He was like a ghoul," one of the attacked who wished to remain anonymous stated while receiving medical treatment for bites to his arms and abdomen. "He growled and charged just like them. And he bit the hell out of us."
Temptation fought the man, but he received the most severe bite, with the unidentified feral man taking a chunk out of Temptation's leg. Temptation received first aid on scene, but he had to be transported via caravan to Kendall Hospital. We do not have current updates on the severity of his injuries, but his friend said it looked bad.
23 November 2297 - Red Rockets' Setter Starts Business
Jamaica Plain Red Rockets second baseman Alan Setter began a new business that he hopes will improve car production in the Commonwealth.
The business, known as I&A Machinery Adjustment, Inc., will be dedicated to preparing and setting large machinery for mass production.
"My brother Irish and I talked about what we could do to invest the caps I made in the CBO," Setter said. "We had a chance to work in the General Atomics Factory for a few years and worked with the robot production lines. It taught us a lot."
Setter is expected to leave the day-to-day operations to his brother, especially during the baseball season.
"I love baseball," Setter said, "so baseball comes first. But I also love my brother and I love learning and I love to help people. With our knowledge of machinery adjustments, I think we could help businesses across the Commonwealth to improve their production for the growing population."
Setter hoped that putting out the word on his business could gain him clients.
"People around the Commonwealth might know who I am because of baseball, so Irish and I are hoping that will help us pick up some clients. I hope the Corvega plant or ArcJet can use our expertise."
