The Fridays play their home games in the [[Sovereign Nation of Hawaii]]. While other teams prefer to play in a stadium complex the Fridays opt to play wherever the vibes feel best, meaning games can take place in literally any location on any of the islands and occasionally even in the water. Fans and merch vendors are recommended to bring their own seating and booths.
  
==[[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.

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

[[Hendricks Rangel]] hits a grand slam during the bottom of the ninth inning to score 4 runs and [[Shame|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.
 
  
==[[Season 3]]==
+
== Gameday Customs ==
The Fridays did not show up for the first 6 games of the season, as surf was just too good to pass up.  
+
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 continued their play at chill vibes in the early part of the season, but the team began feeling themselves after Nagomi McDaniel ate a yummy peanut and became one of the league's most feared batters. The team's winning momentum grew, and after a 0-6 then 12-24 start, they eventually climbed to a record of 38-38 by Day 76. The Day 76 win was a calamitous one, though, as power hitter Hendricks Rangel and fan favorite Sebastian Sunshine were both incinerated during the game. The Fridays would go on to finish the season with a 48-51 record, a record best to date, ranking 7th worst overall.
+
The Fridays no longer have a fourth blase, as their original one gained sentience to become [[Evelton McBlase]]. As such, the team uses [[Terrell Bradley|Daddy Bradley]]'s ballcap to mark its location during games. Due to the chill nature of the team, the placement of the ballcap is never exact and that often results in differing lengths of the first and third blase lines from game-to-game.
  
While Rangel, Sunshine, Sam, and Solis were incinerated during the season, Our Lady of Perpetual Friday saw fit to bless the team with three new friends: [[Evelton McBlase]], [[Juice Collins]], and [[Basilio Fig]].
+
The Fridays never go home from a game before having a nice cookout with the opposing team.
  
===The Millennials Upset (Season 3, Day 55)===
 
[[File:Screen Shot 2020-08-05 at 10.52.48 PM.png|thumb|Millennials Upset box score.]]
 
The Fridays tipped the odds on the New York Millennials with an absolutely mythic 17-2 victory despite their 44% odds and the Millennials Being blessed with the 4<sup>th</sup> strike.
 
  
===The Juice Cleanse (Season 3, Day 76)===
+
== Sponsorships ==
A Pyrrhic victory for the Fridays, on Day 76 of Season 3 they defeated the Los Angeles Tacos 5-3 to reach a .500 winning percentage for the first time that season, but in the course of the game both Hendricks Rangel AND Sebastian Sunshine were incinerated by rogue umpires. In need of replacement players, Our Lady of Perpetual Friday gave the blessing of sentience to [[Basilio Fig]] (a nearby palm tree) and [[Juice Collins]] (a cocktail from the Fridays' 3rd base drinks cart). The luau after the game, which served simultaneously as a welcome for the new players and a wake for the incinerated ones, is regarded as one of the greatest in Fridays history.
+
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.
  
==[[Season 4]]==
+
There are unconfirmed rumors that a deal is being reached with Pineapple Spindrift to be supplied to the 3rd base drink cart, beginning next season.
The Fridays decided to change things up a bit and started Season 4 hot, going 6-1, including a record-tying 23 runs against Shoe Thieves Gunther O'Brian. Soon afterward, the Fridays decided to chill out and drifted toward the bottom of the [[Chaotic Good]] division, ending the season 44-55.
 
  
[[Basilio Fig]] and [[Baldwin Breadwinner]] swapped due to feedback on day 82, and [[Thomas England]] was incinerated by a rogue umpire on day 86. [[Sixpack Dogwalker]] came in to replace England, and due to the breakage in the timespace continuum on day 88, somehow came to wield Thomas England's femur as a bat, now known as ''Bangers and Smash''.
+
Although the team has no owners, this almost changed due to the persistent need for 'drink money' in the lead-up to [[Season 2]]. 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.).
 
 
During the elections cookout, the Fridays found themselves feeling chiller than usual as waves of good vibes washed over them. Additionally, when they looked at the grill, they found a giant rack of brontosaurus ribs on the fire, with Sixpack gnawing on the corner. No one knows where she got dinosaur meat from, but after the popping and cracking of sinew and bone in the shared meal, the Fridays felt the strength and camaraderie to play a stronger defensive game of blaseball.
 
 
 
Strangely, [[Terrell Bradley]] was spotted with a second, pointier mustache, and [[Stevenson Heat]] had a goatee.
 
 
 
===Stomping of the Shoe Thieves (Season 4, Day 3)===
 
[[File:Stomping of the Shoe Thieves.png|thumb|Box score of the Fridays' stunning rout of the Charleston Shoe thieves]]
 
The Fridays opened their fourth season with a series against the [[Charleston Shoe Thieves]]. Upon returning from a dawn patrol surf session before the final game of the series, the Fridays discovered that the Shoe Thieves had raided the teams clubhouse, leaving with their entire collection of cleats and other beach footwear. The theft brought particular distress to star player [[York Silk]], whose mother would not purchase him another pair of light-up cleats until the next [[Seasons|blaseball season.]]
 
 
 
Much to the surprise of the Shoe Thieves, playing entirely barefoot was not only great for vibes, but a strategic advantage at the particularly sandy location the game was being held in. The Fridays trounced the Shoe Thieves 23-8, tying the record for most runs scored by a team in one game and surprising [[The Commissioner]]. The loss was so embarrassing for the Shoe Thieves that in a rare move, general manager and ace pitcher [[Cornelius Games]] returned the team’s footwear and rushed his team on to the bus, leaving before the postgame cookout.
 
 
 
===Fig Hits Big (Season 4, Day 6)===
 
Despite exceptional base running from [[Bevan Underbuck]], the Fridays headed into the bottom of the ninth down 7-3 against the [[San Francisco Lovers]]. After an inspiring series of chirps and ta-weets from [[Fletcher Yamamoto|Fletcher Yamamato]], the Fridays repaired their vibes and began rallying back. With the bases loaded, Lovers team captain [[Knight Urlacher]] made the call to walk star batter York Silk, walking in a run and bringing [[Basilio Fig]] to the plate with a score of 7-6. Fig, hitless in his previous at bats, completed the comeback with a monster hit that resulted in a final score of 10-7 and [[Shame|SHAME]] for Lovers.
 
 
 
==[[Season 5]]==
 
At the end of [[Season 5#Election_Results|Season 5]], the [[Season 5#Blessings_2|Bad Neighbors]] blessing impaired the Fridays' overall rating by 3%.

The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.


Location

The Fridays play their home games in the Sovereign Nation of Hawaii. While other teams prefer to play in a stadium complex the Fridays opt to play wherever the vibes feel best, meaning games can take place in literally any location on any of the islands and occasionally even in the water. Fans and merch vendors are recommended to bring their own seating and booths.


Our Lady of Perpetual Friday

See main article on Our Lady of Perpetual Friday.

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.


Gameday 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 no longer have a fourth blase, as their original one gained sentience to become Evelton McBlase. As such, the team uses Daddy Bradley's ballcap to mark its location during games. Due to the chill nature of the team, the placement of the ballcap is never exact and that often results in differing lengths of the first and third blase lines from game-to-game.

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


Sponsorships

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.

There are unconfirmed rumors that a deal is being reached with Pineapple Spindrift to be supplied to the 3rd base drink cart, beginning next season.

Although the team has no owners, this almost changed due to the persistent need for 'drink money' in the lead-up to Season 2. 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.).
