Official League Records
The Hades Tigers are one-time Internet League Champions thanks to their victory in Season 3.
The Tigers have arguably the strongest roster in the league, with the highest total star count for both lineup players and pitchers as of Season 4. Notoriously, this roster was in part assembled by stealing players, with both Jessica Telephone and Mclaughlin Scorpler having been taken from their previous teams via blessings. In both cases, the Tigers had minimal votes towards that blessing, but managed to win them anyway with 1% and 2% odds respectively.
Team Overview
COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
For a more in-depth look at the team, see Hades Tigers/History.
The Tigers play at Sixth Circle Stadium (also called "The Amphitheater" or "The Orpheum" by some locals), located in the heart of downtown Tartarus, Hades.
Hades, god of the underworld, publicly presents himself as the owner of the Tigers. He uses the team as a means of promoting his brand in order to attract more worshippers. Legally, Persephone is listed as the owner, but this may be a tax evasion scheme by Hades.
The team is technically called the Hades Tiger's, as evidenced by the "Many stripes! One tiger!" chant commonly heard during games. Due to a typography error in a bulk merchandise order, this fact is little-known and rarely respected by other teams.
Staff
- Fearful Symmetry - General Manager
- Kick Rocks - Pitching Coach
- Beyonceknowles Aliciakeyes - Bench Coach
- That Bombastic - First Base Coach
- Dr. Pecota - On-Staff Physician
- The Hades Tigers do not have a batting coach. If you see any individual claiming to be a Hades Tigers batting coach, do not interact with them, avoid eye contact, and report them to the local authorities immediately.
Mascots
The current Hades Tigers mascot is a mysterious spirit referred to by many names, most commonly The Presence. It is said to haunt Sixth Circle Stadium, and fans report many anecdotal, unconfirmed, and wildly contradictory sightings of it.
When the team was founded, Dave the Devil was planned to be the mascot. These plans were cancelled after the costume (and the intern inside) were found ripped to shreds, covered in claw and bite marks consistent with a tiger attack.
Fan Culture
For a more in-depth look at fan culture, see Hades Tigers/Fan Culture.
Never Look Back
The Hades Tigers’ slogan, “Never Look Back,” is emblematic not just of their pitching strategy, which leaves them open to second base being stolen at an alarming frequency, but a way of life. A typical Hades Tiger fan will refuse to dwell on their past failings or answer questions about historical events more than a few days old.
The Tigers are known for having several player-specific chants, which can be found here.
Tigers fans and Hellmouth Sunbeams fans are close allies, often rooting for the other team. This relationship is often described as an "antirivalry."
