Revision as of 23:26, 5 August 2020

The Hawaii Fridays are a blaseball team in the Chaotic Good division of the Good League. They are an inaugural member of the ILB. Officially recognized as the most chill team, they frequently arrive late to games as they are always on island time.

Vibes

Fletcher Yamamoto, Nagomi Mcdaniel, Elijah Valenzuela, Sebastian Sunshine, Stevenson Heat, and Karato Bean, Season 2.

The Fridays are blessed/cursed by Our Lady of Perpetual Friday. For the Fridays, it is always island time. Players cannot feel the passing of the hours, nor experience fear, despair, elation—anything besides a heightened feeling of chill. No matter the temperature, the Fridays experience the weather as a cool 70-something degrees with a pleasant ocean breeze. The smell of pit oven smoke lingers around them. They are fun at parties.

Uniform

There is no Fridays uniform. Players wear whatever they want—sometimes in team colors, sometimes not. (Always in 'aloha shirt' patterns.)

Mascot

There is no official team mascot. At various times, the Fridays mascot has been: any bird in the vicinity of the game currently going on (often Hawaiian honeycreepers, such as Fletcher Yamamoto himself), a fan dressed up as a volcano, Our Lady of Perpetual Friday, C O C O N U T, or literally anything silly that shows up to the game.

The official drink of the Fridays is Mountain Dew® Baja Blast Freeze. Unofficial drinks include piña colada, margarita, Capri Sun, Sunny D, and (not really a drink) Hawaiian-style shave ice. These are kind of like mascots.

Stadium

The Fridays do not have a proper stadium and prefer to play wherever the vibes feel the best.

Rivals

None.

Friends

The Dallas Steaks, Chicago Firefighters, Los Angeles Tacos, Kansas City Breath Mints, San Francisco Lovers, Boston Flowers, Charleston Shoe Thieves, Yellowstone Magic, New York Millennials, Hades Tigers, Philly Pies, Baltimore Crabs, Mexico City Wild Wings, Hellmouth Sunbeams, Canada Moist Talkers, Breckenridge Jazz Hands, Seattle Garages, Miami Dalé, and Houston Spies are always invited to post-game cookouts.

Ownership

The Fridays are a workers' cooperative where each player owns an equal stake in the team. Departing players give their shares to transfers. There are outside sponsors, such as singer-songwriter Rebecca Black.

There are no coaches, managers, or non-player owners. Everyone on the team fills these roles simultaneously.

In the lead-up to Season 2, this almost changed due to the persistent need for 'drink money': T.G.I. Friday's restaurateur Daniel R. Scoggin attempted to buy the team. On his way to seal the deal, however, Scoggin got lost at sea. The deal accordingly never took place, although T.G.I. Friday's did manage to secure a minor sponsorship for mascot rights, which simply means that the team serves the T.G.I. Friday's drink menu at home games (e.g. THE BEST FRIDAYS™ MARGARITA, etc.).

Customs

The Fridays traditionally set up their snack and frosty drink carts next to third base. This leads to many Fridays players getting thrown out trying to steal third, as they forget about the game and leisurely stroll over to check out the cart. Efforts to move the carts to a less accessible and game-altering place have been strongly resisted by Fridays batter Elijah Valenzuela ("All such things should be freely available to the people.") and pitcher Stevenson Heat ("I just gets real hungry sometimes, you know?").

The Fridays never go home from a game before having a nice cookout with the opposing team.

Players

Tlopps blaseball cards for the Hawaii Fridays Season 3 team.

Transferred

Season Results

Season 1

Spent mostly "just getting into the swing of things, dude."

Season 2

Entering The Discipline Era with a marked lack of discipline, the Fridays struggled particularly on the pitcher's mound. Two batters were killed on the field by umpires. This harshed some vibes, but replacements Hendricks Rangel and York Silk brought the vibes back. With 45 wins and 54 losses overall, Fridays tied the Los Angeles Tacos for 5th worst in the league. Fridays players were observed to not have their eyes on the pennant so much as their eyes on the grill.

In the Season 2 postseason, 8 year old York Silk received the Gunblade Bat as a blessing from his teammates.

Season 3

The Fridays did not show up for the first 6 games of the season.

Historic Moments

The Bottom Ninth Hendricks Rangel Miracle (Season 2, Day 56)

Box score following the first Hendricks Rangel Miracle.

Hendricks Rangel hits a grand slam during the bottom of the ninth inning to score 4 runs and SHAME against the Los Angeles Tacos.

The Bottom Ninth Miracle 2 (Season 2, Day 66)

A second grand slam only 10 days later during the bottom of the ninth inning to score 4 runs and SHAME against the Charleston Shoe Thieves. Final score 5-9.
