2017 Indianapolis Republicans Season

News and Notes
The team's home field was changed from "Trump Field" to the "Mark Hug Aquatics Center." and nicknamed "The Mark." We were allowed to sever ties with Donald Trump as part of the "pants on fire" clause in the naming rights agreement. We continued our practice of giving naming rights to those with very large egos. Unfortunately, we were unable to sell the naming rights because Mark is not a wealthy man. Instead, we will take a huge tax write-off.

May/June

 * 1May 29 game to be played at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio in honor of Memorial Day. These same two teams will play at WPAFB again on Memorial Day, 2018, but that game will be a Republicans' home game.
 * 2June 20-21 games will be played in Stockholm, Sweden to commemorate the summer solstice.
 * 3June 23-25 games will be played in London, England to commemorate the anniversary of Brexit. The Republicans will also have an exhibition game on June 22 against the London Dentists, 2016 champions of the English Premier Water Baseball League League. What the London Dentists lack in dental work, they surprisingly make up for in WBB Play.

August/September

 * 4All games on Labor Day, September 4, will start at 3:01 p.m. Eastern, to make any possible playoff battles more intense. This practice is very common in European soccer leagues and MLB adopted it a couple years ago.  The commissioner wanted to have all games start at 3:05 p.m. Eastern, but San Antonio put up a huge fight.
