who are these players that have fallen from the sky?... 2!

hello everyone! happy second fall ball! here's my first fall ball explainer, if you haven't seen it yet! basically, i will go team by team and explain the fallen players canon history; very little fanon will make it into this post. i will also be including star counts and last known modifications and items, even though those aspects may be changed or removed in blaseball gamma. lets get into it!

BOSTON FLOWERS

FALLEN: Zack Sanders (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Zack Sanders is a player with a lot of history! They joined the league as a pitcher for the Sunbeams in Season 1, and stayed with them the entirety of the Discipline Era. In the Season 15 Elections, they were traded to the Philly Pies in exchange for Elvis Figueroa as a result of a Sunbeams Will that had a 1% chance of happening. Whoops! Don't worry. In the Season 16 Elections, the Sunbeams used another Will to exchange pitchers again, but only after the Pies used one of their Wills to infuse Sanders' pitching ability. Pretty good! After that, there were no more shenanigans, and they stayed with the Sunbeams for the rest of the era. They have the Negative and Scattered modifications, and a Limestone Metaphorical Ambitious Socks, and 17.4 stars in total. Their overall K/BB is 10.11.

HOUSTON SPIES

FALLEN: Nanci Grackle (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Nanci Grackle is a player that has spent a majority of their time in the Shadows. They joined the league in Season 12 on the Atlantis Georgias when they descended, and didn't see active play until late in Season 20, when they were faxed out of the Shadows in exchange for Goobie Ballson. They soon after were swapped onto the lineup, and shortly after that, suffered an allergic reaction to a peanut that tanked their stars. The next season, they retreated to the Shadows, and stayed there for the rest of the Era. They have Ambitious Head Socks and 7.1 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.202 and their overall K/BB is 1.

MEXICO CITY WILD WINGS

FALLEN: Enid Slumps (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Enid Slumps has never seen active play! With a name like that, that's a shame. Well, don't worry Enid. You will now! They have been in the Flowers' Shadows since Season 18. They have a Traitor Hot Helmet of Wisdom and 10 stars in total.

OHIO WORMS

FALLEN: Jacob Winner (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Like Zack Sanders, Jacob Winner is a very storied player that has been with the Hawai'i Fridays since Season 1. They joined as a pitcher, but early in Season 5 they were Reverb'd to the lineup in the first example of Reverb weather taking effect that we had seen! They stayed on the Fridays until Season 21, when they were Feedbacked to the Lovers in exchange for Percival Wheeler. In that season's Elections, they were swapped to the rotation. They have the Affinity for Crows, Idol Immune, Scattered, and Flippers modifications, a Charitable Jersey of Vanity, and 16.4 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.205, and their overall K/BB is 4.72.

SEATTLE GARAGES

FALLEN: Timmy Vine (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Timmy Vine is another that has never seen active play. They've been in the New York Millennials Shadows since Season 1. There isn't much more to say about this guy! They have the Negative modification, a Cap, and 6 stars in total.

TOKYO LIFT

FALLEN: Barry Burkhard (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Barry Burkhard has been with the Dallas Steaks since Season 17, joining the league in their teams Shadows. They stayed there until Season 22, starting a trend for themself of entering and exiting the Shadows. Over the next two seasons, they did so eight times, ending Season 23 in the Shadows, and waiting until the middle of Season 24 to exit again. What a time to emerge, Barry! They have a Gravity Leg Helmet and 15 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.208 and their overall K/BB is 0.9.

CANADA MOIST TALKERS

FALLEN: Russo Slugger (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Another player that has been in the Shadows since Season 1, but they didn't see active play until halfway through Season 24, when they joined the Jazz Hands' pitching rotation in exchange for Zippy DeShields. They saw a total of 4 games, and only won a single one of them. But hopefully they'll be better in this new era! They have 10.1 stars in total. Their overall K/BB is 0.5.

HAWAI'I FRIDAYS

FALLEN: Haruta Byrd (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Another player that hasn't seen much active play! Haruta Byrd has been in the Philly Pies' Shadows since Season 1, but only emerged from it in Season 23 as a lineup player. And they went back in there in early Season 24, right when things were getting chaotic. Good call! They have the Unstable modification, a Ring, and 11.4 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.201.

PHILADELPHIA PIES

FALLEN: Thomas Marsh (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Thomas Marsh has... a very barebones wiki page. I'm not even sure when they emerged; they were born before the Expansion Era from what I can tell from the Before archiving tool, but I can't figure out much else. Except that they were in the Crabs' Shadows. And that they have 8.9 stars in total!

EDIT: I have been informed that Thomas Marsh is an OG Crab, joining the ILB in Season 1 in the Crabs' Shadows!

ATLANTIS GEORGIAS

FALLEN: Kit Ratoon (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: From one descension team to another! Kit Ratoon joined the league in the Ohio Worms' Shadows, and emerged from them in late Season 24. Whoof! Chaotic existence you've got there, Kit. They have a Holey Cape and 9.1 stars in total. They have a BA of 0.105.

UNLIMITED TACOS

FALLEN: Tot Best (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Like Russo Slugger, Tot Best is another player that has been with the league since Season 1 and emerged in Season 24, though they were in the Sunbeams Shadows instead of the Jazz Hands. Besties! Due to... well, Season 24 things, they only saw one game of active play, which they lost really badly. Poor guy. Hopefully this next era will be better for them! They have the Scattered modification and 9.5 stars in total. Their K/BB is 0.07.

SAN FRANCISCO LOVERS

FALLEN: Donia Dollie (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Just like Thomas Marsh, Donia Dollie also has the most barebones wiki page I've ever seen. They must have emerged before the Expansion Era. Oh well! They have 10.3 stars in total.

EDIT: I am told that Donia is a Season 1 or 2 Jazz Hands Shadow!

BALTIMORE CRABS

FALLEN: Gabriel Griffith (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Another player that has been with the league since Season 1! Gabriel Griffith has been... all over the place, honestly. They've been feedbacked and stolen and just passed around the league that, instead of providing a play-by-play, I'll just tell you the teams they've been on: Dallas Steaks, San Francisco Lovers, Hades Tigers, Hawai'i Fridays, Chicago Firefighters, and now the Baltimore Crabs. A hot commodity! They have the Negative and Scattered modifications, a Traveling Bat of Dexterity, and 25 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.280, and their overall K/BB is 23.89.

HADES TIGERS

FALLEN: Zephyr McCloud (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Zephyr McCloud joined the ILB in Season 11, in the Dallas Steaks' Shadows. In the Season 14 Elections, the Steaks Foreshadowed them in exchange for Sam Scandal, because even then, Zephyr was a really good batter. 4.5 batting stars without any blessings or modifications! Really good luck for the Steaks. It was bad luck, though, when they were reverbed to the pitching rotation in Season 18. They weren't... a good pitcher. It was dire enough that they steaks had to Foreshadow them back to the Shadows and then Swap them to the lineup over the course of two Elections. It all worked, and they stayed put until Season 24, when they got hit by a pitch from Niq Nyong'o, becoming Observed and then Redacted. About an in-game week later, they popped out of the Secret Base at the Miami Dale's stadium, scored a run, and joined their team. I will say, there is nothing in their history section that explains how they got to have, fucking, 9.4 batting stars by the end of the Expansion Era. Gonna have to look at the Before archive for that I suppose, in my own time. This is getting long enough. They have the Attractor and Overperforming modifications, a Sharp Skate Shoes, and 24.1 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.251, and their overall K/BB is 0.6.

EDIT: According to @.zayphora, Zephyr's extra stars are very likely due to their Attractor mod giving them "fake stars"

CORE MECHANICS

FALLEN: Chorby Short (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Chorby Short is a player that is loved by many, and also a character that has been through a LOT! I highly suggest that if you don't know anything about them, that you go through their wiki page. They are a delight. I love them. They have the Attractor, Friend of Crows, Homebody, Triple Threat, and Underperforming modifications, a Hard Shoes, and 29.4 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.242, and their overall K/BB is 12.47.

NEW YORK MILLENNIALS

FALLEN: Jonathan Catalina (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Jonathan Catalina is a very recent player! They were a Postseason Birth for the Lovers in Season 23, and exited the Shadows during Night weather very shortly into Season 24. Eager to get out and going, even during the Turmoil of Season 24! How admirable. They have the Scattered modification and 15.5 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.231.

CHARLESTON SHOE THIEVES

FALLEN: Oliver Loofah (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Oliver Loofah joined the ILB in Season 1, in the Seattle Garages' Shadows, and they stayed there until Season 14 when they joined the active lineup in exchange for Summers Pony as a result of a Foreshadow Will. In the following season, they were promptly Shelled by York Silk. In the season after that, they were Feedbacked to the Shoe Thieves and promptly pecked free. Isn't the sim beautiful sometimes? In the Season 20 Elections The Garages traded Terrell Bradley for them as a result of their Equivalent Exchange Will, and they stayed with the Garages for the rest of the Era! The Shoe Thieves and Garages seem to passing this player back and forth... rather funny. They have the Minimalist, Negative, and Subtractor modifications, a Head Shoes of Fourtitude +1, and 19.4 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.242 and their overall K/BB is 0.34.

HELLMOUTH SUNBEAMS

FALLEN: London Simmons (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: London Simmons joined the ILB in the Moist Talkers' Shadows in Season 1, and despite getting a fair amount of buffs while in there, they did not see active play until Season 22, when they joined the active lineup via Voicemail. And, okay, having a bit of trouble here, because when I see the wiki, it says that they have only ever been on the Moist Talkers, but when I look at Blaseball Reference, it says that they have played a single inning in Season 22 and 23 for the Crabs. So I don't know what's going on there. If anyone does, I'd love to know! They have the Elsewhere modification, an Air Glove and Helmet, and 14.5 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.303.

EDIT: So, apparently London played for the Crabs as a result of their (the Crabs) Carcinization mod. Its one that steals the other teams best player for the remainder of the game if they activate the Black Hole!

MIAMI DALE

FALLEN: Joe Voorhees (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Joe Voorhees was mostly around in the Discipline Era, specifically until Season 7. In short succession, they were traded from the Moist Talkers to the Shoe Thieves, had an allergic reaction to a peanut that absolutely tanked their stats, were traded to the Spies, were Feedbacked to the Sunbeams, and then they were Shadowed, until Season 16, when the Sunbeams decided to give them a chance again. The following season, they were Shelled by Jessica Telephone, and the Sunbeams Shadowed them during that seasons Elections. They have the Scattered and Shelled modifications, a Fire Eating Weird Bat, and 7 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.208.

BRECKENRIDGE JAZZ HANDS

FALLEN: Erickson Sato (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Not much to say about Erickson Sato! They were in the Wild Wings' Shadows. That's it! That's all I know! And, of course, that they have 7.1 stars in total.

CHICAGO FIREFIGHTERS

FALLEN: Don Elliot (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Don Elliot was with the Miami Dale since Season 1, but despite that, surprisingly little has happened to them. They were Reverb'd from pitcher to batter in Season 5. They were targeted by an Umpire in Season 9, but didn't actually get incinerated. They were Foreshadowed in Season 16, briefly emerged from the Shadows due to Night weather in Season 24, and then swiftly retreated 4 days later. That's it! You know everything about Don Elliot now. Go forth, and share your knowledge with the world. But wait! They have the Scattered modification, a Bat, and 7.8 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.206 and their overall K/BB is 6.35.

DALLAS STEAKS

FALLEN: Sandie Carver (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Sandie Carver joined the ILB in Season 1 as a player in the Breath Mints' Shadows, and only exited them in the Season 16 Elections. 15 days into Season 17, they were Feedbacked to the New York Millennials. What a bummer! They got a Literal Arm Cannon during the Season 23 Elections, an item previously only owned by the legendary Axel Trololol. They have the Negative and Triple Threat modifications, a Literal Arm Cannon, and 15.3 stars in total. Their overall K/BB is 5.48.

KANSAS CITY BREATH MINTS

FALLEN: Hatfield Suzuki (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Hatfield Suzuki joined in Season 1 in the Mills' Shadows, and was Foreshadowed out in the Season 12 Elections. They stayed on the Mills until Season 21, when they were recruited to the Hades Tigers as a result of the Double Negative blessing. They were randomly selected twice. During the ILB Semi-Centennial, they played for the Rising Stars. They have the Ego+, Negative, and Undefined modifications, a Skate Cap, and 21.7 stars in total. Their BA is 0.244.

YELLOWSTONE MAGIC

FALLEN: Axel Campbell (wiki / blaseball reference)

HISTORY: Axel Campbell joined the ILB in Season 1 in the Baltimore Crabs Shadows, and didn't emerge until Season 20. They spent the next four seasons entering and exiting the Shadows a total of 7 times, 4 of which was in Season 23. Axel Campbell is notable for having the fasted Shadow Fax in ILB history; exiting the Shadows, facing 4 players as pitcher, and entering the Shadows again, in 55 seconds. They have a Hearty Cool Rock Bat and 14.2 stars in total. Their overall BA is 0.255, and their overall K/BB is 2.7.

And that is it! As always, if I messed anything up please feel free to tell me! Much of this was written in a stupor. I'll do this again next week after the next fall, so stay tuned for that!
