Miami Dale/History

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

The Dalé are natural partiers who appear to celebrate everything from winning to losing to slightly impressive jet ski tricks to seeing a dog on the way to practice.

Ownership

Rather than being the property of an individual or corporate entity, they are instead owned jointly by their ███████████ shareholders. Shares may be purchased via any currency, through bartering, or by saying ¡Dalé! No individual consciousness may own more than 4.20% of the total shares. All shareholders receive are voting rights for what pizza we order at 2 a.m., an invitation to the annual Board of Governors Party, and an opportunity to purchase exclusive shareholder-only merchandise like limited edition koozies designed by Artist in Residence Farrell Seagull.

Sponsorship

The unofficial partner of the Miami Dalé is Kent's Video Swamp. The Dalé's support is estimated to have increased Kent's Video Swamp's customer base by 700% (from one customer to eight). While they have not yet garnered the coveted Official KVS Sponsorship, multiple sources within the team report that they expect it to be made official any day now.

Beverage Culture

A popular pre-game ritual before Dalé games is to do communal shots of Cuban coffee. This controversial act has been deemed rule-breaking by many fans; however, the Umpires have gone on record that the practice is defensible as it's "pretty rad" and plausibly leads to decreased performance.

Dalé players are known for drinking Blaja Blast or other flavors of Mlountain Dew as a refreshing and energizing splorts beverage during games, either plain or mixed with tequila. This embrace of Mlountain Dew came from team members not wanting to associate themselves with Glatorade, which they consider a Gainesville drink. Lineup player Hahn Fox is known for her endorsement deal with Diet Mlountain Dew.

As a consequence of the rampant caffeine culture during and outside of games, the Dalé have been recognized by Miami-Dade County mayor Carlos Gimenez for greatly increasing the number of small businesses founded in the Miami area by members of la familia overcome with great ideas after their 6th 4Loko or so.

However, this culture is anything but monolithic. Notably, lineup player Randy Dennis does not consume caffeine. "I have no eyelids, so it's already annoying trying to sleep in what little off time I have," said Dennis in a XX19 interview with local newspaper personality Miami Gerald. "Plus, I only have grinding teeth, not biting teeth, so I avoid anything that might make me anxious. Except blaseball."

Regarding teamwide acceptance of individual choices, Raúl Leal said during a XX20 combination press conference/afterparty that "there is intense peer pressure within the team to respect our peers' autonomy and judgment. Pressuring someone would be such a party foul. Can you excuse me? I think the beat is about to drop."

Music Culture

Dalé fans and players alike are commonly found listening to the works of Pitblull. Players are currently required by management to choose a song by Pitblull as their walk-on music. Pitblull is not known to be a sponsor of the team, leading to speculation about potential "insider trading" [editor's note: this is not what insider trading means].
