Swatting sultans



"Swatting sultans" was a common nickname for Boston's resident baseball team before the Great War.

Background
The team had previous won World Series titles in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918. The afternoon of October 23, 2077, the team would have faced off against their rivals from Texas at Fenway Park in the last game of the 2077 World Series. If victorious, the swatting sultans would have delivered their first series win in nearly 159 years.

The team was coached by Dusty Wilder, and the players were led by star pitcher Matt "The Missile" Murtagh.

Appearances
Boston's Swatting Sultans are mentioned only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
Real life Boston Red Sox pitcher Babe Ruth was nicknamed the "Sultan of Swat." The actual baseball team remains unnamed in the game, although it is evidently intended to be the Red Sox.
