Hobbs Cain is a lineup player for the Philly Pies. Cain has been with the team since Season 6, Day 82 after replacing Alston Cerveza due to Feedback. Cain formerly played for the Canada Moist Talkers since Season 1, where they were most well known for hitting one of two grand slams in the bottom of the third inning during Season 2, Day 96 alongside Richmond Harrison. 13 runs were scored during the inning, leading to a final score of 18-3 and securing a spot in the playoffs.

History

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

Hobbs' appearance bears mentioning due to the choice to don his old private school uniform jacket, which hangs loosely across his shoulders over his jersey. While not to regulation, there seems to be no movement on behalf of the ILB to enforce the removal of the jacket.

When asked about his prior splorting experience, Cain stated that the rules of Blaseball were “much simpler” than he was used to, and cited a game played between Hobbs and his best friend in their youth. No amount of rules explanation reduced the interviewer’s confusion as to the nature of said game, but the consensus was reached that it was, indeed, a deeply complex splort and definitely earned Cain a place on the Moist Talkers’ batting lineup.

Cain was recently described as a "triple threat" in the Halifax Gazette.

Study of Necromancy

In an attempt to subvert the authority of the Blaseball Gods after the feedback of Richmond Harrison to the Hades Tigers, Cain asked the Leviathan for a means to "spit in the mouth of god." Cain was brought by the Leviathan deep into the Throat to find a Necronomicon, which had been used as an exercise step by former Hades Tiger Fish Summer. Cain then spearheaded the Moist Talkers efforts in pursuing Necromoisture as a means of recourse.

The Leviathan

Hobbs Cain rarely hits harder than a single, but upon reviewing bootleg Moist Talker footage, fans have connected Hobbs' more impressive hits with the serendipitous appearance of a massive “ambystoma mexicanum” emerging from the clouds, circling above the arena and then disappearing into the misty heavens. Cain spoke quite frankly on the connection in an ensuing press release by explaining that "Well of course I hit better when the Leviathan appears. That's how I know I have its favor." Hobbs claims that the Leviathan communicates telepathically with him in the form of burbles or warbles, much akin to the audio of the video attached.

Career with the Pies

Upon his trade to the Philly Pies, Cain did not express much emotion upon leaving behind the Leviathan. Upon arriving in The Oven, Peanut Holloway claimed that he saw Cain's eyes flash like lightning before The Philadelphia Philling fell to the ground, bursting open and releasing four and twenty blackbirds that quickly coalesced into a giant goose. While no one can corroborate Holloway's story, after this event, many of his teammates did hear Cain say, "The Wawaiathan has awakened." The Philling's crust quickly sealed itself and it walked off as if nothing had happened.
