The **Rapid City Galaxy**are a Reddit League Baseball team based in Rapid City, South Dakota. They were founded in 2023 as the **San Francisco Fightin' Nuns** and renamed five years later, becoming the **San Francisco Friars**, seeing great performance while under the name, before rebranding in 2071 to the Rapid City Galaxy.

## Franchise history

As one of the most successful professional baseball teams, the Friars franchise has the fourth highest winning percentage in the history of Reddit League baseball. They have won 13 division titles, the most in the history of the Pacific Division, have competed in the playoffs 18 times, have won 2 Western Conference Pennants and have won 2 The Rings. Current manager Matt McLoughlin managed the Friars to both of their world championships.

Playing as the **San Francisco Fightin' Nuns**, the team struggled with mediocrity, compiling a record of 373 wins and 437 losses in the franchises first five seasons. Since the name change in 2028 the organization has finished below .500 only once. In 2032 the franchise was purchased by current principal owner Robert Parsimony who helped grow the team into a large market club - helping turn them into a yearly competitor in the Western Conference.

The 2040s saw the Friars hit their peak, winning The Rings in 2041 and 2043. The Friars also eclipsed their career high in wins three separate times during the 2040s, winning 107 games three different times, in 2040, 2043 and 2047. The Friars's rule over the Western Conference, and more specifically the Pacifica Division, continued into the 2050s, never dipping below .500 through the entire 2050s, as well as a vast majority of the 2060s. 2065 also saw the Friars's losing season since 2024, a feat that will likely never be matched in the RLB. The 2060s also saw struggling GM Steinbach23 take over the Friars, leading them to four of the worst season in San Francisco History, before entering the 2070s and the RL/HL era.

The 2070s saw the Friars move, from San Francisco to the smaller, colder city of Rapid City. South Dakota welcomed the franchise, and their first season in Rapid City was a winning one, despite missing the playoffs by only a handful of games. Rapid City has a bright future, but It likely will be fucked up by GM Steinbach23. The question is how bad.
