History
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
Watson was found dead in an elementary school in the year 2004. They resurrected themself in 2013, and have been playing for the Crabs ever since.
Personal life
Watson lives under the boardwalk in Ocean City, where he is the mayor.
When asked to comment on their miraculous return to the blaseball pitch, Watson began to cry orange juice. Fans have interpreted this as perhaps a declaration of dislike for the Kansas City Breath Mints, but Watson has not confirmed this speculation.
Since resurrecting themself, Watson has only been able to consume five things; oyster crackers, boardwalk fries, Rita's Italian Ice, Natty Boh, and anything that has a ratio of 1:100 for item:Old Bay.
Political career
Watson became the mayor of Ocean City in 2014. As mayor they personally disbanded the police, citing the former police chief's hatred of crabs as a major factor in said disbandment.
Controversies
Immediately after assuming the post of mayor, Watson punched Ocean City's then-police chief on live television. Watson has gone on record saying, "I do not regret it, I will not apologize."
In XX5, Watson was sued by the Ocean City Hermit Crab Vendors' Union for stealing an unknown number of hermit crabs. It was speculated that this was accomplished by coming up through the cracks in the boardwalk. Watson won the lawsuit and continues to deny these allegations, although he refuses to explain where their hundreds of hermit crabs come from.
In Literature
Runolfio Peeper wrote the following poem, which was read at Watson's second inauguration as mayor:
Joshua Watson, beloved Mayor
Dead for seven years
And brought back by a prayer
Shed orange juice for tears
Returning to the field
Embraced by all their peers
Now they're usually concealed
Below the boardwalk’s entry
A neighborhood well-heeled
They live with the crabby gentry
Which for Watson’s elementary
Cheers
- "What, son?! Watson!"
- When Watson runs to a base, Crabs fans have been known to informatively chant, "Wat's on first/second/third!"
- "Elementary? My dear Watson!" - A reference to Watson's earlier death.
