Gotham City Eagles

Owner: Theodore Cobblepot

The Cobblepots are one of Gotham City’s most prestigious and wealthy families. When one considers Theodore Cobblepot’s inclination for all things sporting, it should come as no surprise that he spearheaded the effort to bring professional baseball to the city. It should also come as no surprise that his influence with city officials made it possible for him to secure prime real estate along the Gotham River for pennies-on-the-dollar where he is building a state-of-the-art baseball stadium with grandstands that will seat up to 20,000.

Theodore hired older brother Nathan to run the team’s business affairs. Known in Gotham social circles as ‘The Colonel,’ Nathan Cobblepot achieved fame for his bravery during the Civil War leading Union forces in the Battle of Gotham Heights.

Manager: Billy Kane
Kane was a scrappy player known for his keen baseball knowledge. While he has never coaches or managed before, his baseball ‘smarts’ on the field were widely praised. He was a strong leader during his playing days and should do well in that role for the Eagles.

The Eagles will rely on the following players to achieve success in the NBL.

Cap Anson -- Anson should start at either first or third base for the Eagles. While he is young and raw, the 6-foot, 227-pound strapping right-hander has shown flashes of brilliance in both the field and as a hitter.

Tom Brown -- Called "School Days" by his teammates for his youthful appearance, Brown was born in the Vale of White Horse in England, Brown was a top-notch bowler in cricket and footballer at Rugby school. After moving to the U.S, he quickly discovered baseball and has exceled at the game. Many favorably compare Brown’s skills as a pitcher to the late, great Jim Creighton of the Excelsiors.

Harry Schafer -- is a durable player and one of the better fielders in baseball. While he likely won’t be found among the elite hitters of the new league, he is still a solid player with the ash in his hands. It is said that he has never missed a scheduled game.

Dickey Pearce -- began playing for the Brooklyn Atlantics in 1856 and has become one of the the best shortstops in the game today. He bats with great judgment and safety.

Jimmy Wood -- Wood began playing with the Eckfords of Brooklyn in 1860. He is a superior batsman.
