Mexico City Wild Wings
The Mexico City Wild Wings are a Blaseball team in the Lawful Evil division of the Evil League. They have been a part of the Blaseball League since Season 1. They work hard, try their best, and have good splortsmanship.
The Wild Wings team comprises of a diverse range of players - from the star pitcher who exists outside of time, to an ordinary car tire piloted by rats, and a batter with the distinction of being the game's first part-seal player.
It is unclear whether all Wild Wings players were put on the team intentionally, and whether they are aware they are playing for the Wild Wings, or even blaseball in general.
The Wild Wings are currently the only team who has not had a roster change since Season 1, and are one of two teams who have not yet faced an incineration (the second team being the Kansas City Breath Mints). The reason for this is unclear, although their extreme spice has been noted as a possible cause.
Management
The team is not technically managed by an individual, but by the interpretation of wingsauce patterns left on discarded plates of leftovers by a mysterious figure known as Guy Flieri. The particulars of the process are the subject of much speculation, though for the sake of paperwork, the manager is officially stated to be Guy Flieri.
Due to the outwardly Chaotic Good appearance of the Wild Wings's player base and managerial style, their Lawful Evil League status has often been called into question. However, the Wild Wings Legal Team (in fact, an actual Underleagues Blaseball Team) and Gastronomic Conjurer Guild have a near-encyclopaedic knowledge of blaseball law as well as a formidable ability to spot precisely the kind of loopholes and fuzzy boundaries that enable the team to operate in this arm of the league.
Culture
Fans take pride in the diversity of the team, believing that it lends an unpredictability to their games, in which "anything can happen," good or bad.
Cheers
- Anything Can Happen — Adopted as an unofficial slogan; also used as a chant, typically when the team is either in a tricky situation, or have just recovered from one. Sometimes, "Anything. Can. Happen." for emphasis. Occasionally heard with the response: "Anything WILL Happen," or (upon success) "Anything DID Happen."
- Wild Swings, Wild Flings, Wi-i-i-i-ld Wings! — A cheer performed either individually or as a three-stage call-and-response.
- Wheels up! — Denoting the appearance of batter Miguel Wheeler. Accompanied by fans forming an "O" with their hands over their head.
- Once! Twice! Three times a baby! — A cheer performed when Sylvia Rugrat strikes an opposing batter out.
- Sosa puede! — A chant started when Sosa Hayes is up to bat.
Nicknames
Local fans have given the team several nicknames to reflect them being located in Mexico City.

Superstitions
One commonly held belief among Wings fans that the Wings win when they do not look at the scoreboard. However, science has yet to substantiate this claim.
There is a recent superstition among fans that if one combines the correct flavors of wing sauces, dip 13 wings into that sauce, then raise the wing plate to the sky during the 6th inning, one will either (a) bless the team with The Flieri Shirt, an artifact which bestows unknown capabilities; or (2) immediately draft a fan into the team lineup.
The "Bone Claw" Race takes place between the 4th and 5th inning of home games to honor and remember legendary Wings pitcher Mae "Bone Claw" Fuldera who mysteriously disappeared before the team was founded. The Race begins with the contestants placing a wing between each of their fingers on one hand and racing to see who can eat their way to a Bone Claw first. Legend has it that if a child beats their parent to the Bone Claw, the next Wings batter will get a text from their crush.
