See Emblem Warhorse (bar) for the establishment of the same name.

Official League Records

Warhorse joined the ILB as a lineup player in the Shadows for the Seattle Garages as the Garages' Season 11 Playoff Birth.

During the Season 19 elections, Warhorse joined the Garages' active roster in exchange for Brisket Friendo as a result of the Garages' Foreshadow will.

On Season 21, Day 79, Warhorse retreated to the Shadows in exchange for Oliver Loofah at The Hotdogfingers Memorial Climate Pledge Garage and Parking Facility via the Ratified Voicemail.

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.

This time, the Interdimensional Rumor Mill reveals a Patron Rumor from IF-75.859 out of its Patron Rumor Registry...

Spam and Scam

Scam Likely (it/its) and Potential Spam (ti/tis) are a pair of grifters and Patrons of the Emblem Warhorse who are rarely separated. How they came to the bar is unknown, as they tell a different story whenever asked. In fact, very little of what they say is true, and much is designed to lure the unwary into giving them money or other valuables.

Spam is best known for telling long-winded stories. On the few occasions where ti has been witnessed not talking, it has always been to allow Scam or a mark a turn. Scam, in contrast, tends to be much more concise, rarely speaking except to directly further the pair’s current con.

Interestingly, interviews with past victims indicate that they always take precisely as much as a person can spare. Several, after being informed of this, said that it even accounted for emergencies they would soon have. It is currently unknown how they determine this, and given that this frequently result in their schemes having very low payouts, it is theorized that they care more about the trickery itself than the money they gain.

While new visitors often have to be warned away from the pair, their engaging conversation is a good source of entertainment for patrons and all who can remember not to trust them.

Trivia:

  • While they order a wide variety of drinks, Scam tends to favor non-alchoholic beverages and Spam seems to prefer cocktails.
  • Both display the Emblem on their wallets.
  • Neither has ever been witnessed taking something without the verbal consent of the person whose possession it is currently in, and Scam has been witnessed prompting people to do so. This includes bats and drinks.
  • Some speculate that the two are married. When questioned, Scam refused to comment, while Spam launched into a detailed (and presumably false) description of the ceremony.
