History

An accident at Flermilab in 1987 involving an unstable particle and Crown Malort resulted in the destruction of a lab attendant's mortal vessel. The only thing that remained was pure unfiltered Firefighters energy. This energy is known as Goobie Ballson. Goobie is theorized to be able to reform his atoms into any shape he pleases, and this is the prevailing explanation for his lack of attachment to a permanent body.

Goobie initially arrived at The Fire House with a 99 rack of PBR, removed from his body in a way not yet fully understood. After it was made clear that he would refuse any kind of payment, Goobie became a welcome party guest and valued teammate. During the Firefighters' occasional parties, Goobie is always the last to bed and cleans up the bottles and cans left out. However, despite his respect for cleanliness, Goobie's feelings towards fire are as mixed as any Chicago player. Though he is proud to fight fires, he is known to occasionally start them due to a habitual fascination with arson. He finds the act of smashing a Molotov Cocktail on the ground irresistible, and is rarely left unattended with more serious accelerants.

During the matches of Blaseball, Goobie can be seen with various pieces of firefighting and Blaseball gear floating within his gelatinous mass. He always seems to have whatever he needs handy inside the goop, and can be relied to provide missing objects or relevant tools with minimal intrapersonal rummaging.
