New West Baseball League

The New West Baseball League is a professional sports organization in New California and parts of Nevada. 
==Background==
As the NCR began to rapidly expand following the destruction of the Enclave, pre-War sports found a resurgence in the pastimes of the growing New Californian population. Baseball was one of the first sports to be revived with the abundance of baseball supplies and memorabilia produced before the War, along with a number of ghouls who still had knowledge of the sport.
It is believed that the first NCR community to formally start playing baseball again was Dayglow, particularly between ghoul refugees from Necropolis and other disenfranchised wastelanders who settled into the city’s ruins during the 2160s and 2170s. During a campaign tour to Dayglow during the late 2250s, Wendell Peterson saw mixed human and ghoul teams playing a makeshift game of baseball. He realized that the sport could be a tool for promoting New Californian culture and by extension his own presidency, and would include funding of local baseball teams in his political platform.
Over the next decade, baseball would slowly gain more popularity in California. Children were known to have started creating baseball bats and balls of their own from scrap found across their communities. With baseball fever gripping the Republic, it was only a matter of time before its largest settlements argued over who had the best team. Communities would send their best players along with caravans to neighbouring settlements to prove their skills. Even cities like New Reno and Vault City who had yet to join the NCR would form their own teams and compete with those of the Republic. Peterson’s administration would create the New West Baseball League to organize matches between the teams of the NCR and beyond.
By the 2270s most major Californian communities now have their own professional team. The expansion of the Republic’s rail lines has allowed them to use trains to safely travel between large settlements, although some smaller communities must rely on the NCR’s rare cars and buses to participate in the League.
