Franchise History- Here we have another team in Glavione300 that has not been able to put a winning season together. This franchise started in Tucson, Arizona as the Vultures. They showed no success at their Tucson home and if remembered correctly were abandoned in Season 1 by their owner. They were sold to owner picc818 and moved from sunny Arizona to the hills of Colorado where they became the Colorado Springs Cougars. In Seasons 3-6, the Cougars struggled to put wins together and finished in the bottom half of the AL West every year. After 4 seasons in Colorado, picc818 noticed how much time his players had been spending drowning their sorrows with “the Banquet beer” and “the Silver Bullet”. He decided if he was going to have a successful team, he needed to take them somewhere where binge drinking like that was frowned upon. So, in Season 7 he moved them to the Mormon Capital of the world, Salt Lake City. Here, the players, and their multiple wives, have all given up drinking, are active in their churches and are trying their best to put together a winning ball club.



Franchise Outlook- The future of the Silver Kings is as bright as the Angel Moroni shining his light down upon Joseph Smith. Ned Duff, Hoss Glynn and Raymond McFeely are just a few of the star prospects in the Silver Kings’ minor league system. The team is also led by stars Morgan Jorgensen, Dave Rando and Eduardo Crespo. With these players currently playing and in the minors, it is only a matter of time before Mormons all over Utah are singing the praises of the Silver Kings.
