Seba Sebayt - Lion Gloves of the Sands [2056]

In 2056, the first biannual North African Regional Compact Tournament, featuring council club teams from five countries across the region, was held. The final round saw the Tunis Coursers face off against the Alexandria Ankhs, with the Ankhs winning decisively in a 8-0 outcome. The Cairo-based band Seba Sebayt would go on to release this record, Lion Gloves of the Sands, within weeks of the victory. Baseball historian Frank Heward writes, "The first North African Regional Compact Tournament, held in scorching conditions and featuring talented rosters who braved them, was a success not just for the Alexandria Ankhs, but also for the compact movement and arguably global baseball as a whole. It was now clear that baseball had become a true world phenomenon and that increasingly more complex structures would take shape to facilitate the playing of the game globally."

Lion gloves of the sands Allah granted, Allah protected Lion gloves of the sands This victory of theirs is precious Lion gloves of the sands Cast aside your hopes and wishes For you face Lion gloves of the sands DISCLAIMER: This is a fictional alternate-history baseball music/archive project.
