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

The Interdimensional Rumor Mill is a loose organization of rumors and interpretations about various players of Blaseball. It first began working collectively after The Grand Unslam split the city of Los Angeles into infinite cities, exposing a multiverse of possibilities and visitors to the immaterial plain where Blaseball is played.

Origins

On Season 3, Day 73, the Grand Unslam occurred for unknown reasons. The outcome of the Unslam was significant, however. After Season 3 had ended and the election results were in, the city of Los Angeles was split into an infinite number of cities, and all the players on the Unlimited Tacos (then known as the Los Angeles Tacos) suddenly took the name Wyatt Mason, in what has been dubbed The Wyatt Masoning.

While the Wyatt Masoning did come to a somewhat satisfying resolution, players and fans began to observe through the Infinite Cities that not every player looked like their previously known appearances. Rumors began to spread within the fans that players were taking on properties from alternate dimension doppelgangers. Confusion was compounded by the fact that players were changing appearance, personality, history, or even entire species between games, with no warning or explanation. So many rumors and doppelgangers appeared that very few fans can definitively say which version of their team players are the initial or 'prime' versions of those players.

Researching Interdimensional Rumors

The first player to have their many appearances documented was Famous Owens, of the Hades Tigers. Most of Owens' appearances shared similarities, such as their mysteriously familiar aura and face, but some fans even observed Owens as a living chicken restaurant mascot.

Fans devised a method of properly researching and documenting interdimensional appearances using the same methods The Commissioner used to disambiguate, or localize, all the players named Wyatt Mason in the Unmasoning. Using old radio tuners and comically oversized satellite antennas, fans can tune into the vibrations of the multiverse and record stable observations of players in alternate dimensions. They then register their recordings in the Rumor Registry, a formal collection of all currently observed duplicates through the tear in spacetime over the Infinite Cities.
