Hi! Thanks for asking my questions a while back, but I was rewatching and had another one. I think you said some specific writer who wasn’t you mostly wrote the Sisko baseball stuff, so I was curious: what were the team loyalties for people writing that, if you remember? My mom thought it must be a National League team because in the scene where they’re on their first date, Sisko seems to approve of Kasidy’s brother’s league not having a designated hitter. (We’re an AL family — Tigers and Orioles — so she was pretty salty about that, haha.)
Team loyalties of DS9 writers (the ones I remember):
Michael Piller - Creator, main baseball guy - Dodgers - BOOOO!
Ira Behr - Showrunner S3-7 - Yankees - BOOOO!
Ron Moore - Giants - YAY!
Rene Echavarria - Braves I think? He didn't grow up with the Marlins - Shrug
Me - Giants - YAY!
Hans Beimler - Pumas UNAM (Didn't care about baseball, I decided to root for Club América just to be contrary)
why did they choose san francisco for federation hq though. they're like hello our oldest allies from a desert planet. how would you like to spend all your time in a place that is eternally grey and wet

One thing that people forget about the original Star Trek is that, as much it looks, in retrospect, to be kind of campy, it was actually one of the first science fiction series on American television that actually tried to take itself seriously; like it hired writers who were actually respected in the genre and approached weighty themes; and there really wasn't very much like it before, or even after, until TNG came out.
