Pulberry, Oxford
Like so many of Braeland’s southern coast cities, Pulberry is renowned for its scenic beauty, as it overlooks the Amberg inlet. It is also unique in that vehicular traffic is severely restricted in the downtown area. Only tramcars, or trolleys, are permitted to operate during the day. Riding the ‘trolleys’ over the city’s many bridges has become a popular activity among visitors, as it affords breathtaking views of the city and adjoining inlet.
For Pulberry baseball fans, naming their team the ‘Trolleys’ was a no-brainer, as many take tramcars, to and from the park on game days.

What the pundits are saying:
Quote:
“The Trolleys look to be a .500 club this season, and that alone could still see them have a chance for a playoff spot if the predictions for the Western League are correct. Rated 6th in runs scored (668) and 4th in runs allowed and ERA (716/4.04), the Trolleys will need to exceed the prognostications if they want any realistic chance, however. Apart from SP-RHP Nick Paddock (65/65) reliever RHP Larry Parish (80/80), the pitching staff is alarming short on quality arms. There are some fine players in the lineup, led by CF Rio Gidley (76/77- rated 19th overall position player), catcher Gareth Cusack (69/70), 2B Michael Batterham (68/68) and versatile IF Finlay Ridd (71/73), but with a lack of real depth, the Trolleys will be highly vulnerable to injuries and could see their season over rather quickly if they don’t make any moves to beef up their pitching staff.”
