Affinity for Crows is a Team Modification, awarded to the Philly Pies during the Season 8 Elections.
Effects
During Birds weather, a team with this modification will have its hitting and pitching stats improve for batters and pitchers respectively. The boost provided by Affinity for Crows is considerably better than that provided to players who are Overperforming.
History
In the Season 8 Elections, the Philly Pies received a "newfound Affinity for Crows" as a result of winning the Affinity for Crows Blessing. They won this with 6% of the vote, compared to the 22% vote share of highest bidders the Baltimore Crabs.
Four and Twenty Seasons of Birds in league with Pies
The Pies saw immediate benefits from this blessing, with significantly improved win rates in Birds weather compared to their performance in other weather types. In Season 10 in particular, when the Forecast: Birds decree from the Season 9 came into effect and resulted in 34 games in Birds weather for the Pies, they won 28 of these games (accounting for over half of their 54 wins in the Season 10 regular season). The Pies had six separate seasons throughout the Expansion Era where they won[1] 100% of their regular season Birds weather games.
Pies fans capitalised on this trait when ballpark Renovations became available, funding the Birds+ renovation during the Latesistas of Seasons 16 and 17 to increase the incidence of Birds weather in Tastycake Stadium. As a consequence, The Season 18 Pies had one of the best regular seasons in the history of modern Blaseball, accruing 80 non-losses to match the Baltimore Crabs of Season 6.[2]
To "commit to the bit",citation needed Pies fans also funded the Birdhouses renovation in Season 20, and Bird Hotels in Season 21.
