Fans Flock to Forever Field
April 23, 2058: Hawaii: Nobody is certain what it is, or even if they want to figure such things out, but it certainly appears that there’s something in the water around the Bikini Krill’s home field out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. After dropping the first two games of the season, the Krill are on a hot run, and currently stand 11-8, second place in a very tough Pacific division.
“It’s a lot of fun right now,” said manager Richard Larson. “Maybe none of the guys are marque-level superstars, but we’ve got some good players in the dugout. It’s been a joy to be here while they’re discovering who they are.”
Yesterday it was 24-year0old switch-hitting first baseman Mike McClure figuring something out but bashing a 2-run double that put the team up for good in the fifth inning of a victory here in Hawaii. The day before it was outfielder Graham Aubry smashing his third homer, a three-run blast that propelled the club to a 7-2 win on get-away day in Portland.
“Really it’s someone different every day,” said veteran shortstop Larry Barkin. “I admit it’s kind of weird to watch after the way the club had been faring before the move. But I suppose it’s fair to say it all started to come together at the end of the year last season, so maybe we should have known better?”
Barkin suffered a worrisome strain this week, and has questions surrounding him, but the injury makes the signing of Rich Dares seem that much more valuable. Barkin (.327/.393/.418) is having a resurgent start, and team insiders admit they are scouring the team trainer’s notes to decide what steps should be taken.
After a bit of a rugged start on the hill, the team’s pitching seems to be settling, too.
Is it real?
Who knows?
But right now the fans seem to be bought in. The Krill have played to nothing but sell-outs so far, and that bodes well for the future.
“It’s important that our fans know we’re doing our best all the way up and down the organization,” said GM Ron Collins in a VR interview segment. “We want everyone who comes to Forever Park to have an experience they’ll never forget, and winning baseball is certainly a big part of that.”
