3. La Claire Lynx (96-58) (2 Pro Cups - 2087, 2090)
It was another rock 'em, sock 'em season where the Lynx had to beat off perennial power Rolling Hills Racers by 5 games. La Claire slowly pulled away in the last month of September to capture their 5th consecutive Tycobbian West flag. The Lynx are dead set on repeating as IPA champion and snaring their third Pro Cup in the last five seasons. And yeah buddy, they do have the club to do it. La Claire hit .260 BA (17th of 64 IPA teams), socked 156 HRs (13th), scored 798 times (10th) with a 3.10 team ERA (6th). Defensively, not so good with a .978 FA (34th).

La Claire Lynx

Owner: The Rip Calkin Sports Foundation and Enterprises
GM/Manager: Jonny Bacon

La Claire is the capital of Tycobbia and its largest town with a population of 120,000, second largest in the Islands. It is located in the central section of the country on the meandering Appian River, which cuts through two thirds of the country, flowing from the Appian Mountains in the north near North Hills, southward to Hartsdale, through the capital, then down to Bay St. Clair and empties into the bay there.

The town was established in the 1850s by a group of American abolitionists from the North and the South, who saw the coming Civil War. They wanted to set up a country free from slavery and religious intolerance.

La Claire is an enchanting town of the old, mixed with the new. The State Capitol and governmental offices are in the center of Capitol Park, which is the center of the town. Lush greenery is everywhere, with the new modern section at the edge of town, which houses the movers and shakers of Tycobbia's business, financial, banking and automotive worlds.

La Claire is also home to the La Claire Lynx of the Islandian Pro Alliance. The Lynx play in the Tycobbian Baseball Union West Division. The club plays at Capitol Park Stadium, a charming old ballpark constructed in 1923. Spectators get a spectacular view of the State Capitol over the right field fence and can see the new developing part of town in the distance beyond the left field fence. Most of the food and drink at the ballpark are typical, except for the Dippy Dogs , a gourmet wiener, dipped in a maize/corn batter and fried. It is unique to State Capitol Park and is especially tasty, when the meal includes a refreshing cup of freshly-squeezed pink lemonade.

Before and after a Lynx game, fans can enjoy the fine restaurants, diners and shops on the shore of the Appian River. Movie theaters, old-fashioned soda fountains, concert halls and fashionable night clubs are in abundance, too. All within easy walking distance.

Rip Calkin, famed shortstop in his industrial league career, noted for rarely missing a game, started up the Lynx. Calkin did not turn out to be much of a manager. They rarely had a winning team and only made the postseason twice in his 24 seasons. The team is owned by the Rip Calkin Sports Foundation and Enterprises.

Jonny Bacon, a former outfielder for La Claire, took command in 2083. After a rough 2 seasons, he has won 5 straight Tycobbian West crowns and 2 Pro Cups in 2087 and 2090. Bacon had a solid career as a player from 2061 to 2069, batting .292 with 197 homers, 733 ribbies and scored 739 runs.
