The Los Angeles Tacos are a Blaseball team in the Lawful Good division of the Good League. They have been a part of the Blaseball League since Season 1. They are managed by Al Pastor.



History

The Los Angeles Tacos were formed from the only 14 people to sign up for a community Kickball league signup sheet on the corkboard of a Ralphio's in Van Nuys, California. Upon showing up for the first game they were outfitted with Blaseball gear by their owner, eccentric former professional surfer Guy Myrington.

The Tacos were formerly owned by The Dilsney Cooperative as part of their deal to buy Guy Myrington's life rights in order to produce the biopic I Married My Surfboard. Upon taking ownership, Dilsney renamed the franchise The Van Nuys Tacos of Anaheim, despite the stadium being quite some distance away from Dilsney's fortified stronghold in Orange County. Dilsney was excellent at marketing the team but the team suffered low in their rankings during their tenure. After an unremarkable season and I Married My Surfboard failing to gross anything close to its $400 million budget, Dilsney and the Tacos formally parted ways, with Myrington regaining his ownership role. At that point, the name changed back to the original Los Angeles Tacos.

Stadium

The Tacos' stadium is built in the middle of the infamous 6-way stop sign intersection in Bleverly Hills. Despite the stadium's construction in ███, the location has continued function as an active roadway to this day. This makes games scheduled during rush hour especially hazardous, though interference from distracted drivers is not considered foul play.

The signature food of Tacos Stadium is the Hotdaco, a hotdog served in a taco shell. It is one of the many options available at the build-your-own-taco bar, which season pass holders have access to. Options at the BYOTB include but are not limited to cotton candy, vienna sausages, fermented bean paste, and, on Italian night, spaghetti.

Rivals

The Los Angeles Tacos' rival team are the Chicago Firefighters. The relationship first heated up early in Season 2 when when the Tacos swept a series that the Firefighters were favored to win. Additionally, as the spiciest team in the league, the Tacos are too closely related to the Firefighters sworn enemy, fire, so the rivalry is one of fundamental opposition. Tacos pitcher Sexton Wheeler commented on the rivalry, saying "Water can't calm the blaze on their tongues."

The rivalry may or may not have cooled off when Tacos brand manager Myra Myrington exchanged some good-natured banter[1] with the Fire Fighters. When asked about the rivalry, Myrington said "they r sonice tho cant we just be frends[sic]??" Despite this effort, the teams remain non-friends to this day.

Season Results

Season 1

The Tacos finished last in the Lawful Good Division with a record of XX-XX. They were also the last place team in the league overall and faced possible relegation. However, that decree was not enacted and they narrowly avoided being removed from the league.

Season 2

After an abysmal first season, the Tacos fared better in The Discipline Era and finished in third place in the Lawful Good Division with a record of 45-54. They did not advance to the playoffs. Despite still being one of the weaker teams in the overall league based on star ratings, they consistently put up a good effort and pulled off a handful of upset victories thanks to hitters Patel Beyonce and Rat Polk, and pitcher Natha Kath.
