The Firefighters were once a team managed, owned, and coached by individuals.
Creation
During the Great Chicago Blaseball Fire, the original players, management, and Fire House were destroyed. After the Chicago firefighters arrived at the blaze and put it out, they stuck around and formed the Firefighters team as it is known today.
Traditions
During the playoffs, all Firefighters players grow out their fingernails and paint them with fire-inspired designs.
Player Numbers
Each player's number corresponds to the Chicago zip code they live in. Players all have their number tattooed on the knuckles of one hand and WAFC tattooed on the other hand.
Players who inherit a number are from the zip code corresponding to their inherited number. If they were not from that zip code, they are now.
Team Rivalries
The Firefighters are intense rivals with fire; however, simultaneously, they love fire. This is known as the Firefighter's Paradox.
The Unlimited Tacos are a major rival team.
A rivalry between the Firefighters and the Hades Tigers erupted on 2:81 of the Discipline Era, when the Firefighters Unofficial Twitter tweeted: "We are from chicago"[1]. The Tigers Official Twitter responded "Um, so?"[2], a direct insult to the Firefighters' honor. Fans stated that the rivalry will continue until the Hades Tigers are eradicated completely until 2:90, when the Hades Tigers recanted[3], recognizing both the importance of Chicago, and the fact that the eternal struggle between the Firefighters and the endless blaze of Hades makes both stronger. The rivalry continues, but has become friendly, at least for now.
Trivia
- The Firefighters have three outfield positions: Western, Lake, and State.
- Despite having a stadium full of fire escapes, the Firefighters have never let a fire escape.
