COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
This page details the fan culture surrounding the Miami Dale.
Know more about the Dale's fan culture? Add it below!
Dale fans are known as la familia. Like the team's players, the fans are less concerned with the team's record than in having a great time together. Dale fans value each other and their team regardless of arbitrary definitions of "success," instead embracing each being's inherent worth. The team's chant, ¡Dale!, is used just as often to remind fellow fans of what's truly important after another season at the bottom of the Chaotic Evil League as it is to cheer on the players.
Intentional Community
Several hundred Dale fans live communally in a South Beach high rise that was abandoned by wealthy owners post-Hellmouth-opening. This started after a July 31st, XX20 game in which a wealthy fan who lived in the building drunkenly invited every member in his section to an afterparty, who then began to occupy the other vacant apartments in the building after every door on the 30th floor was busted down in the festivities. Over time, the entire building became free housing for Dale fans and Miami locals alike who needed it. In the absence of eviction notices or other legal action from the owners, the community was found to have adverse possession of the property (small piles of ashes in various mailboxes were found to be unrelated).
This communal living situation has been praised as a potential model by local organizations usually unaffiliated with splorts like Food Not Bombs.
A flock of flamingos roams the grounds. In August XX20 they learned to use the elevators. It is highly recommended that you feed the flamingos. They will not stop chasing you until you do. Residents are advised not use the hot tub if it is currently occupied by flamingos, but a community effort is underway to litter box train them.
Vote, Wimdy?
As one of the smallest in the ILB[1], the Dale fanbase's voting power is notoriously low. However, in the Season 4 Election, the Dale won the Evil Wind Spirits blessing with a rounded 0% of the vote, upsetting the highest bidder, the New York Millennials, who had 46% of the vote. Following the announcement of the results, (at the time) Millennials player Schneider Bendie tweeted "wow it really happened again huh. one person in florida typed "vote, wimdy?" into aol dot com and @blaseball said "well you gotta hand it to them, they make a compelling case." The tweet has since been taken down.[2]
