The Noble City Outlaws are a Lovian professional baseball team based in Noble City, Sylvania. The Outlaws compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League. The team plays it's home games at the Megadome on the campus of Blackburn University, Noble City. They play spring training games at the ETSU/Mountain States Health Alliance Athletic Center in Johnson City, Tennessee, United States. It initially played spring training games at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky, United States (and bought the stadium's AstroTurf field in 2014 for the Megadome before Cardinal Stadium's demolition to replace it's former AstroTurf GameDay Grass surface after the GameDay Grass turf rolls were destroyed in a fire).

The Outlaws refers to it's Western theming. The team, for it's first few years, was owned by Canadian actor John Ireland, who had played roles in Western TV shows and movies. They are the third MLB franchise to be based outside the United States, and currently the only other team based outside the U.S. after the first Canadian franchise, the Montreal Expos, relocated to Washington, D.C. after the 2004 season and became the Washington Nationals.

History
The Outlaws were created as the result of a petition to introduce major league baseball to Lovia. The name "Outlaws" and the Western theming was chosen by club officials in 1989 after 2,000 names and theme suggestions.
