Team Overview

History

For more on the Crabs' history, see Baltimore Crabs/History.

The Baltimore Crabs were founded in 1352 as a sign of worship for The Olde One, a deity that lies dormant in Baltimore Harbor.

Since the start of Internet League Blaseball, the Crabs fans and players have vowed to "turn [their] resentment for the indifferent Blaseball Gods, as well as [their] bitterness and spite, into fuel for the Great Crab Reckoning" due to the disastrous outcomes of the Season 2 election. It is as yet unknown what the Great Crab Reckoning entails, but it is theorized to involve carcinization: the belief that given enough time and evolution, all teams in the league will evolve into identical copies of the Crabs.

Staff
