The Hades Tigers are a Blaseball team in the Lawful Evil division of the Evil League. They have been a part of Internet League Blaseball since Season 1.[1]
History
The Tigers play at Sixth Circle Stadium (also called "The Amphitheater" by some locals), located in the heart of downtown Tartarus, Hades.
The closest thing the Tigers have to a mascot is an intangible spirit which haunts the stadium. It is known by many names and has never been directly observed by the team or the fans, though many fans claim that its presence can be felt at a visceral level and that those in its proximity are often overwhelmed by feelings of nervous anticipation, fear and splortsmanship. Several previous hosts of Landry Violence claim to have witnessed The Presence appear at the moment of their possession as a three-headed tiger they call Tigerberus, although these sightings remain purely anecdotal.
The Official Drink of the Hades Tiger's is Violent Lightning, an alcoholic performance enhancing energy drink said to have been blessed by the spirit of Violence himself.
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.

Season Results[3]

In Season 2, the Hades Tigers went 63-36 in the season, advancing to the postseason. They were eliminated by the Breckenridge Jazz Hands 3 - 2.
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 from them 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. At its most extreme, this behavior results in a complete refusal to acknowledge that the past even exists or use rear-view mirrors. Curiously, this does not prevent the Tigers from discussing team and player statistics at length, as these exist in the present moment as an observable fact.
Whether this is a religious practice, a compulsion of some sort, a forgotten curse, or simply a cultural difference is a closely-guarded secret of the Tigers.
The Historian-Wizards are the only subset of Tigers fans who regularly observe past performance, and these individuals are tasked with maintaining records and procuring statistics for the team’s fans, coaches, and management. The Historian Wizards claim that this ability stems from their spiritual and/or temporal orientation is such that these activities are, in fact, merely a different way of looking forward.
Uniforms
The Hades Tigers' uniforms are dried red with black stripes and the Hades wordmark emblazoned on the jersey.
