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.

Lem Warhorse

Lem Warhorse (ey/em) is a former member of the Seattle Garages Stadium and Training Volunteers. The only child of a family of Bangladeshi immigrants, ey used to work several jobs to help support eir grandparents and pay eir way through law school. When the Emblem Warhorse became a member of the Seattle Garages shadows, Lem found emself granted the usual conditional immortality, agelessness, and — most importantly — the salary of a blaseball player. Lem gleefully quit three of eir jobs on the spot. Ey continues to work as a self-employed bike messenger and externs for the Lavender Rights Project legal services provider as part of eir path through law school.

Following the arrival of Brisket Friendo in Seattle, Lem received several bulk orders for cat food deliveries. While fulfilling them, ey became acquaintances with Brie. After Brisket spent most of the Season 19 postseason Elsewhere, Lem and Brie discussed a potential plan for the Emblem Warhorse collective to join the active roster. Ey now makes frequent deliveries to Brie and Brisket at the Ron Monstera Memorial Cat Café and Sanctuary.

When ey’s not playing, Lem often ducks through The Emblem Warhorse while making deliveries, taking advantage of the bar being located both within the Big Garage and across the street from the Dick’s on Queen Anne Avenue. During eir downtime, Lem enjoys people-watching at the bar and hosting impromptu tabletop RPG games with whoever’s around.

On the field, Lem’s emblem takes the form of a prominent patch on eir ever-present and well-worn messenger bag. Ey tends to hit deep into the outfield, though the ball lands in an outfielder’s glove more often than not. Still, Lem is a biker, and ey has the leg muscles to prove it. When Lem does get a hit, ey often makes it all the way to third base.

Trivia:

• Lem has an uncanny and uncontrollable ability to blink whenever eir photo is taken. Eir eye color is a matter of much debate among fans.
• Though too shy to perform with Emblem Warhorse (the band) during their live shows, Lem’s natural talent for harmonization has led to em being featured as the backing vocalist in a few tracks on the studio versions.
• Lem doesn’t drink alcohol. Instead, eir drink of choice is a concoction ey affectionately calls “Lem’s Warhorse Killer.” When asked for the recipe, ey explained it as “one scoop of frozen coffee, one bottle of 5-Hour Energy, one can of Bang, one mug of coffee — bench-pressed for extra strength — and then blend it and put it in a thermos.”
• Lem refuses to elaborate on what it means to “bench-press” eir coffee. Those who have dared to try a Lem’s Warhorse Killer mixed by Lem report that the coffee is indeed incredibly strong.
• In conversation with eir friends, teammates, and fellow patrons, Lem has offered to sue no less than eighty-one people, corporations, and entities. Among these potential lawsuit targets are five creepy exes, fourteen bosses, one guy who said something kind of rude on the train, and the ILB.
