History

He holds the record as the oldest player of blaseball to grace the mound, coming in at an impressive 104. When asked why he continued to pitch after all these years, he simply stated, "Huh? Who's there? Is that you, Mildred?"

Chambers is known for his one distinct pitch, what he calls "the wiggly pitch", which his sister Mildred taught him when they were kids. It moves in a zig-zag line at the same height after he throws at a steady speed of 30 miles per hour. When his coach suggested he learn to throw a fastball, back when he was 34, Chambers responded, "I don't need no dang fastball. I've got my wiggly pitch." Chambers rejected similar requests to learn a curveball or slider. Similarly, every time he was asked out to dinner, Chambers responded, "I don't need no dang relationship. I've got my wiggly pitch." It is unknown which teammate first called him 'Ace' and why, but Chambers fully embraced the nickname, as confidently as he approaches everything.

Early in Chambers' career, a wiggly pitch gone way off-base smashed the window of a nearby orphanage. Going to retrieve the ball, Chambers saw the event as a sign, and adopted all the children inside. Notably, this led to the adoption of Moses Mason, who would leave to LA and eventually form the Tacos. Recently, Moses has been transferred to the Flowers, reuniting Chambers with his child.
