History

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Dickerson Greatness is considered blaseball's greatest what-if story. Showing both tenacity and determination, they won their spot on the Houston Spies by climbing in through a bathroom window and asserting that they were meant to be there. In season 1 of the league, Greatness was unanimously regarded as the ideal blaseball player, beloved by both fans and foes alike. The inaugural championship only eluded them due to widespread incidents of jury tampering.

Greatness went into season 2 unabated, their blaseballing acumen sharpened by the pain they felt at being cheated out of the championship. Tragically, disaster struck on day 65 of the season, when their brilliant career was cut short by an act of incineration in the 9th inning of a hotly contested game against the Miami Dalé, costing the Spies the game and Greatness their life.

Legacy

Dozens of statues were erected of Greatness overnight in Houston, adding to the dozens of statues which were erected during Greatness' highly distinguished career. True connoisseurs of blaseball observed a 60 day period of mourning, and the fact that Greatness never held a championship is widely regarded as an injustice so great it arguably invalidates the premise that winning a championship is a meaningful measure of blaseballing greatness.

It has been noted that nobody affiliated with the Dalé has ever expressed any form of remorse, sorrow, condolence or contrition regarding Greatness' incineration. Indeed, the Dalé organization has been offered numerous opportunities to pay tribute to this titan among players and has consistently refused to comment on any topic related to Greatness. Spies fans continue to insist that this is tantamount to an admission of foul play.
