Langford Harvey "Lang" Richardson is also a maracas player for the Seattle Garages Elephant Gambit. Richardson is known for his unreliable play in high-leverage situations. One fan has said that Richardson, "Lives for one thing and that's making every time he's at bat the most dramatic thing there could be." One anonymous Blaseball writer once said of Richardson, "For better or worse, he turns every at-bat into an adventure."

Lang's at-bats typically eschew three act structure, which he has described as rote and limiting. He has occasionally left what he describes as "Chekov's Blat" sitting just outside the batter's box before stepping to the plate. He has never touched it except to retrieve it, even when scoring on a tightly-contested play.

Richardson excelled in splorts at the home-school level, captaining the bloxing, water plolo and Modern Plentathlon teams. Early in Season 3 he returned to his alma mater to deliver the commencement speech to that year's departing class, his sister Laura. He is also a six-time winner of the Garages' traditional pre-season breath-holding competition, a talent he is yet to use to his on-field advantage.

Richardson's fans refer to themselves as the Lang Gang.
