== History ==
 
The Shoe Thieves began not as a blaseball team, but as a band of footwear larcenists lead by legendary master thief [[Cornelius Games]]. After attending a game of Blaseball to support his husband [[Richardson Games]] of the [[New York Millennials]], Games began to formulate a plan to pose as a blaseball team as a cover for stealing rare and expensive blaseball shoes. In addition to his existing crew, he won over his old rival [[Workman Gloom]] and recruited local cryptid [[Ren Hunter]] to play on the false team.
 
 
"Shoe Thieves" was used as a placeholder name for the team while they debated on what the least suspicious name for their false front would be. However, [[Forrest Bookbaby]], then working as Games' intern, was eager to impress his criminal idol and submitted the paperwork early as a show of initiative, before the name could be changed. Thus, the Charleston Shoe Thieves were born.
 
 
While the team was originally created solely as a front for a heist, to their amazement, they proved to be quite competent at the splort, winning several games and attracting the attention of free agent [[Esme Ramsey]], whose addition as a reliable hitter helped them compete toe to toe with the rest of the league. While there was some initial tension within the team about whether to finish the heist or abandon it in favor of "going straight", they soon discovered they could continue to steal shoes while competing as a legitimate blaseball team by passing their thefts off as a beloved gimmick.

Historic Moments

Stu Stole Home (Season 2, Day 26)

In the bottom of the 14th inning in a game against the Hawaii Fridays, Stu Trololol stole fourth base (incorrectly notated as Home) to put the Fridays into Shame.

Stu Stole Home 2 (Season 2, Day 71)

In the bottom of the 8th inning in a game against the New York Millennials, Trololol again stole fourth base to secure a 6-5 win for the Shoe Thieves.

The Prestige (Season 2, Day 102)

After two consecutive losses in the first round of the Season 2 playoffs against the Dallas Steaks, Matteo Prestige pitched a 7-0 shutout that kept the Shoe Thieves in the playoffs despite the Steaks being the odds-on favorites, cementing their place as a Charleston Shoe Thieves legend.

The Underdog (Season 2, Day 108)

Following a season in which they entered the playoffs with the worst win/loss record of any playoff team, and defeating the league leaders the Dallas Steaks 3-2 and their division rivals the Boston Flowers 3-0, the Shoe Thieves faced the Philly Pies, who were the Season 1 champions, undefeated in the postseason, and so far undefeated in the Season 2 playoffs as well. Despite being the betting odds underdogs, the Shoe Thieves beat the Pies 9-4, breaking their playoff victory streak. Beasley Gloom, the starting pitcher in game one, earned the nickname "underdog" both for his role in such a significant upset victory and his status as the team's only canine player.

Cobbler Coffee (Season 2/3 Offseason)

During Game 2 of the Season 2 Finals against the Philly Pies, starting pitcher Cornelius Games swapped his place on the mound with remarkably convincing doppelganger (later revealed to be a local tram operator Games encountered on the way to the stadium). The dubiously legal substitute performed notably worse than Games's average, allowing 12 runs and potentially contributing to the Shoe Thieves loss. However, the distraction allowed Games to successfully break into the Pies' locker room and steal a pair of sneakers from star batter Jessica Telephone's locker.

Over the course of the following Offseason, Games was able to convince all of the Shoe Thieves' batters to drink Yes Plz! Coffee from the sneakers, hoping ingesting trace amounts of the legendary hitter's sweat would substantially increase their batting prowess in preparation for Season 3.

The Grand Unslam (Season 3, Day 73)

See the main article on The Grand Unslam.

In a game against the Los Angeles Tacos, at the top of the 15th inning, Shoe Thieves player Morrow Doyle hit a grand slam that shook the very foundations of Blaseball itself.
