Items/Discipline Era
Legendary bats are a class of powerful thwacking instruments used in Blaseball that tremendously increase the abilities of their wielder.
All legendary bats to date have been the result of blessings granted at the end of a season's elections, and all to date have been described as "maxing out" its owner's hitting stats.
List of Legendary Bats
- Dial Tone, wielded by Jessica Telephone.
- Vibe Check, a gunblade bat wielded by York Silk.
History
Season 1
In Season 1, the Dallas Steaks were awarded with the blessing called Max Out Hitter, described to "max out the hitting stats of a random hitter on [the] team." Steaks hitter Jessica Telephone received this blessing, but was immediately stolen by the Philly Pies due to that team receiving the blessing called Steal Best Hitter.
Blaseball fans named Telephone's legendary bat the Dial Tone. This name was made official and included in Blaseball game logs starting in Season 3.
Season 2
Season 2 elections featured a blessing called the Gunblade Bat, described as: "a random hitter on your team will gain the Gunblade Bat, maxing out their hitting stats." This blessing was awarded to the Hawaii Fridays hitter York Silk. Fridays fans named Silk's gunblade bat the Vibe Check.
Season 3
During the Season 3 championship games, it is rumored that the bat Dial Tone was able to carry a final voicemail message from incinerated teammate Landry Violence to Jessica Telephone. The mechanics and limits of this afterlife connection are unknown.

Origins
Legendary bats were forged by Blaseball Gods in response to the fans' collective wishes (and arcade tickets) when the time is right and the grass is green.
The mechanisms behind their increased capability varies from case to case. For example, gunblade bats use an explosive charge to accelerate the bat for extreme power on the swing. Other legendary bats seem to have an intelligence of their own, whether through an advanced machine learning processor or a bound spirit.
Recently uncovered records suggest that the original Prime Bat was used to hit the First Pitch. The whereabouts of the Prime Bat are unknown, though rumors speak of a blackened sharp rod in the collection of the The Commissioner.
