Personal Life

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

Template:JHLore Mathews began life as a Silver Transparent TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator, with a fortuitous coding error that determined "BLASEBALL" to be the result of any and all mathematical calculations. Sensing their overwhelming love of the game and will to win, the Jazz Hands fashioned a set of arms and legs out of spare trombones, and put them on the field. Mathews has remained an integral part of the Jazz Hands' roster ever since.

Often chants of "KATH MATH" are heard when they are up to bat, but no one can determine the source.

Mathews' favorite Jazz album is Kind of Bloop: An 8-Bit Tribute to Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue".

Alternate Reality

After the Alternate Reality Decree, Mathews was replaced with the Mathews from a reality where they are a Casio FX-9750GII-SC Graphing Calculator. Because of this, they developed the ability to communicate beyond outputting "BLASEBALL" through a series of complex formulae. This is generally considered by fans to be an improvement over their Prime Reality version, though most still have trouble communicating clearly with Mathews.

In their home reality, Mathews founded the Society for Ethereal Blaseball Research, and eventually began playing Blaseball, in an attempt to learn more about the splort. According to Mathews, SEBR bears a shocking resemblance to the Society for Internet Blaseball Research, leading Mathews to become an avid follower of SIBR in this reality. Mathews' ultimate goal in studying Blaseball is to develop a set of equations that accurately model the splort in its entirety.

Mathews calculates projections of ball trajectories whenever they bat or field to assist their play. Unfortunately, though they have extremely accurate equations available, they must manually enter all relevant variables. More precisely, whenever they aren't actively batting or fielding, they are usually seen furiously pressing their own buttons with their trombone limbs, in a process which has been described as "clumsy," "frenetic," and "intense" by various news outlets. This results in high amounts of imprecision in their results, taking them from a potentially very powerful player to one that is simply mediocre.

Relationship with Campos Arias

According to interviews, Mathews and the alternate reality version of Campos Arias originated from the same reality. Starting in Season 5, fans of both players noticed that they were spending increasing amounts of time together. In particular, Mathews was seen rapidly and precisely communicating with Arias, a feat which no other fan or player had achieved. At last, during the Jazz Hands' Season 9 Party Time, Mathews was seen receiving one of Arias' eleven hearts into their care. The two publicly confirmed their relationship shortly thereafter.
