What are your favorite South African teams?

Title explains all. Which of your South African teams are your favorite?

For me I can break it down a couple of ways...

Simple Answer: All of them

Complex Answer: Because I have to

I think it's a pretty neat storyline addition that in my game due to a blown nuclear reactor in Japan, the country had to be evacuated at a moment's notice and several cities in South Africa stepped up to house the former players and allow the league to continue uninterrupted. Of course some of the players had all their documents and identification lost when they evacuated so have had to form new identities in South Africa but that's a minor detail compared to the horrors of the situation after the nuclear accident.

It's nice to see that despite a horrific disaster just like in WWII (or after countless tragedies on US soil) baseball is able to help fill that void even just a little to let people escape from reality and enjoy the game they love.

I was thinking something along more simpler lines like the league that cannot be mentioned was forced to leave for South Africa due to overwhelming licensing restrictions

I'm a big fan of the Hirajoshi Garp. They're named after Robin Williams!

Wow. Those are some lengths to go to, just to rationalize this unfortunate set of events.
But hey, to each their own. If it works for you, that's all that matters.
Just one question: if South Africa was willing to 'house' the elite baseball players, what would become of the multiple millions of less talented Japanese?

There are unfortunate real-life parallels such as MLB scouting in the Caribbean and collegiate basketball and football recruiting. Not at the national or government level, obviously, but still systems of narrow interest and pyramidal investment in humanity.
