Balloons
Balloons is a Ballpark Modification introduced in that causes a balloon to inflate with each run scored in a ballpark, and ten to be inflated with each win. Balloons cause a small amount of negative eDensity.
Balloons was Ratified into physical Law in the Season 21 Latesiesta.
Balloons was Nullified in Season 24 Day 29 by the Black Hole (Black Hole).
Effect
When a Ballpark has Balloons, any run is accompanied by the inflation of a single balloon, lowering the ballpark's eDensity slightly. Any Win in that ballpark results in the inflation of ten balloons. If any player scored a home run in a ballpark with balloons, it would occasionally pop some of them, and scare away a number of Birds.
The number of balloons in a single ballpark is tracked on that ballpark's page under the "Balloons" heading.
History
Balloons first appeared in the Season 20 Earlsiesta as an available ballpark renovation that claimed to "expel pests from the Ballpark."
