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

Background

Emblem Warhorse describes many things: a bar, a band, a Blaseball player, but most importantly, a community. The Emblem Warhorse is a dive bar in Seattle, and Emblem Warhorse is a collective of people who have at some point in their life found refuge within its walls, becoming Patrons of The Emblem Warhorse. Patrons can be found doing a variety of activities, including (but certainly not limited to) celebrating after a minor league blaseball game, chatting with fellow motorcycle gang members, performing in the group's band (titled Emblem Warhorse), performing at the bar's drag shows under the moniker Emblem Warhorse, or simply enjoying the atmosphere of the bar. A watchful reader may have noticed that some of these activities involve being named Emblem Warhorse; this stems from the bar’s motto: “If you’re here, you’re Emblem Warhorse.” Upon entering the bar, one's name becomes Emblem Warhorse for the duration of one's stay. All are Emblem Warhorse. All is Emblem Warhorse.

Warhorses who frequent the bar often note having never seen the bar before finding it, despite it being located across the street from the Queen Anne Dicks Drive In. Some speculate the bar is only visible when one is truly prepared to find it. The exception to this rule is when the bar hosts events, though visitors who are not meant to become a Patron often find themselves shooed out the door by The Emblem Warhorse itself. Visitors have reported experiencing this phenomenon differently, some finding chairs feeling more uncomfortable, others noticing the water tasting off or the music being just a little too loud. Some have taken to challenging The Emblem Warhorse, ready to prove themselves worthy candidates of the Emblem Warhorse name. It is unclear at this point if any such challenges have been successful.

After the name Emblem Warhorse appeared on the Seattle Garages active roster, at least one Warhorse has been chosen to play in each Garages game. How a Warhorse is chosen for play on a given day is unclear, as Patrons have given conflicting reports. It is possible that there is no clear way of deciding play, or that it changes from day to day. Some cite a competitive game of dlarts, others claim they simply feel the compulsion to pick up the bat and head out the doors.

Qualifications of becoming an Emblem Warhorse

Of the players who take up the moniker Emblem Warhorse, only two things are consistent:

• They have at one point in time been considered a regular at The Emblem Warhorse, and have been deemed worthy.

• They are required to wear the Emblem, a design featuring an upside-down chess knight, somewhere on their person.

The bar has a strict no quadruped policy, though there have been known instances of quadruped Emblem Warhorses managing to get around this rule.

Patrons of the Emblem Warhorse

Many people and beings have come to take up the moniker of Emblem Warhorse throughout time, as deemed worthy by The Emblem Warhorse bar. Below is one such Warhorse.

Fammy and War

Famine, or “Fammy,” and War are two Patrons of the Emblem Warhorse who are rarely seen separated, as they were both found on the doorstep of the bar on the same rainy Seattle night huddled together for warmth. The two of them were immediately brought inside by other Patrons, warmed up and dried off, and given a bit of TLC, and have been beloved members of the establishment ever since.

“Fammy'' is a stumpy-legged basset hound, and War is a bedraggled-looking grey cat. Neither of them are in violation of the Emblem Warhorse bar’s strict “no quadrupeds” rule, as Fammy is missing his back leg and War is never seen walking on the ground inside the bar with all four feet, preferring to only sit upon counters or to be carried around by a Patron of the bar.

War is notorious for being wildly rude and feisty to all non-Patron visitors to the Emblem Warhorse, but she has been spotted acting perfectly agreeable and affectionate to its regulars, tending to nestle herself on laps at the bar or even in purses or backpacks, but never touching the ground.

In contrast, Fammy is known for being very friendly to all who visit and all who stay, with one caveat--he is absolutely unquenchably hungry. Despite being fed a very generous diet of organic dog food by Emmie and Madame Warhorse, and despite several checkups by a local Seattle veterinarian finding nothing medically an issue with him, he is a veritable bottomless pit of hunger, and will gladly take any tapas, fries, and fish and chips scraps off the hands of Patrons and visitors alike. He has even been known to catch salmon out of the air during salmon-weather games.

Fammy and War’s relatively cute demeanor under the right circumstances has led several other Patrons to use some photos and videos of them on flyers promoting a fund drive for local Seattle animal shelters so that other strays might find homes like they did. They seemed mostly alright with being the stars of the photoshoot, though Fammy of course demanded several dog treats and half of a beef slider as compensation. The Emblem Warhorse has heard back on several occasions from adopting families in thanks for raising awareness about rescue cats and dogs, and the fundraiser has become an annual event.

Their Emblems are both located on pet tags on their collars. On the field, War is more likely to strike out while Fammy tends to get out while attempting to steal, as his boundless enthusiasm (and strong sense of smell in pinpointing snack foods in the distance) tends to clash with his diminutive size and running speed.

Typical questions about the whereabouts of Death and “that Pest” are usually met with a scowl and rolled eyes.
