Official League Records

This reversed the Shoe's 10-3 lead, shamed the Shoes, and set a new record of 21 runs scored in a game.
History
COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
Gunther was originally the mascot for the Shoe Thieves. On the fateful day of their incineration, Matteo Prestige had planned a classic seventh-inning vanishing act that left Gunther in their place. Prestige was tragically incinerated before they could pull it off.
In a cruel twist of fate, it was Gunther who wandered out onto the field when a replacement player was called for. The umpires declared him the new pitcher on record - the team may have been reluctant to argue the decision so soon after their teammate's demise. Gunther is now just as much a part of the team as anyone else.
Blaseball Career
His lack of pitching ability may be due to him not having human hands, as he is a penguin. It is also speculated that Gunther may just want to give every player a chance, for the love of the game.
Gunther can sometimes be seen placing the blaseball between his legs, as though it were an egg needing to be kept warm, and has to be reminded to pitch. Despite his shortcomings, fellow Shoe Thieves have showered the bird with love and affection stating "He makes an excellent distraction!" and "Hey, he loves shoes, what more do you want from him?"
Gunther has earned the nickname "Strike-Out!" as a result of the celebration on the rare occasion that he gets one.
No one is quite sure what kind of shoe Gunther specializes in stealing. He has not successfully stolen even a lace so far, but his team is sure that he will get it any day now.
