Hype

The passing of Hype Train caused the existing "Hype meter" stat to fill in on for a team's Ballpark in the Season 19 regular season. Hype increased during games in which the Home team shamed the Away team, with more hype causing the Home team to play better and decaying over time.

In the mechanic's first season, Fans were quick to notice that Hype seemed to have a significant effect on play, as best exemplified by the Season 19 record of the Breckenridge Jazz Hands who spent most of the season with a "Peak" Hype meter. When playing in their home stadium the Jazz Hands won 50 of their 57 games, but while away they won just 8 of their 44 games. In the proceeding seasons the effects of Hype were less pronounced, but still gave teams an edge in their home ballpark.

Nullification

On Day 37 of Season 24, Sosa Hayes of the Houston Spies nullified Hype Train by scoring ten runs under the Black Hole (Black Hole).
