The Liberty City Swingers are a major-league baseball team in Liberty City in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Description[]

The Swingers are one of seven known baseball teams in the Grand Theft Auto universe with the San Fierro Packers, the Las Venturas Bandits, Los Santos Saints, Los Santos Corkers, Carcer City Unicorns, Boars, and the Feud Baseball Team.

They are a hugely popular team, and their merchandise can be purchased on the internet and seen on various pedestrians and criminals. The nickname has a double meaning, as it refers to swapping sexual partners and the necessary swinging motion of the baseball bat within the sport.

The biggest star on the Swingers is troubled star power starting pitcher Ernesto Asaltacunas, and their manager is Henry Thornsteen. Their stadium is supposedly located in the Meadows Park area in the borough of Dukes, though no stadium can be found, only two small baseball fields. A small baseball park near Welham Parkway in Bohan is sponsored by the Liberty Swingers.

In 2008, the Swingers were hailed by Weazel News as the best sports team in the United States. However, the team issued an ultimatum, stating that they would relocate to Los Santos unless they were granted $800 million in public funds to construct a new stadium with luxury box seats. Eventually, the city council granted their request.

The same year, Swingers' fans were furious at inadequate doping by team players. Subsequently, the head coach resigned and players taking too few steroids were terminated. The remaining players promise to train and take whatever is necessary to win.

The Swingers make an appearance in Grand Theft Auto V in the Logger Light TV Commercial, where they are against the Corkers.

Influence[]

They seem to be an amalgam of the New York Yankees, New York Mets, and the original Brooklyn Dodgers for a number of reasons. Mostly judging by the colors and logo, which features a martini glass instead of a baseball bat, their stadium being in the Mets' location, their nickname resembling the original Brooklyn Dodgers in style and name, and having a mascot that somewhat resembles the Mets' mascot. The font is also similar to that of the Milwaukee Brewers, which is fitting, as the Swingers' logo features a martini glass, an alcoholic beverage, while a brewer is someone who makes and manufactures beer.
