Revision as of 02:38, 19 November 2021
Miguel James is a player in the Shadows for the Hellmouth Sunbeams, and has been with the team since Season 1.
Official League Records
James joined the ILB as a pitcher for the Moab Sunbeams with the Return of Blaseball.
During the Season 6 elections the Sunbeams received the Move the Mounds Closer blessing and benefited from the Sharing Signs blessing the Boston Flowers received, which increased James' pitching from to .
On Season 7, Day 74, James' baserunning ability was siphoned by Baltimore Crabs lineup player Tillman Henderson in a game with Blooddrain weather, dropping it from ★★★½ to ★★½. During the Season 7 elections the Sunbeams received the Stickum blessing, which randomized James' defense from ★★★ to ★½ .
During the Season 9 elections the Sunbeams received the Mutually Arising blessing, which increased James' baserunning and defense by .
During the Season 10 elections the Sunbeams benefited from the Sharing Signs blessing the Unlimited Tacos received, which decreased James' pitching, bringing it to .
During the Coffee Cup, James played for Royal PoS as a pitcher.
During the Season 13 elections the Sunbeams benefited from all four "Bubble" blessings, which increased James' pitching and defense by 4%.
During the Season 15 elections James gained The Fourth Strike modification as a result of the Mulligan blessing.
Over the course of Season 23, James entered and exited the Sunbeams' Shadows two times as a result of Lower Moab Scenic Overlook Field Fax Machine events, ending the Season on the pitching rotation.
On Season 24, Day 32, James retreated to the Sunbeams' Shadows in exchange for Zack Sanders at Lower Moab Scenic Overlook Field via the Ratified Fax Machine.
COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
History
The so-called "Flames of James" are one of, if not the Sunbeams' greatest assets. While this is mostly metaphorical, a reference to the kind of luck that James brings to the field, she is also entirely wreathed in flames at all times.
Miguel James was a great pitcher back in the Moab days, but when the Hellmouth swallowed up everything, he momentarily lost hope—until she Stared Into the Sun. This did not blind James, but instead set him entirely aflame. With newfound confidence, swagger, and fire, Miguel James returned to the field—his confidence and charm unmatched, as is her passion.
Miguel James's Hat
James has a cool hat that he won't shut up about, no matter how often she is told how cool it is. This intense enthusiasm is a near-guaranteed topic in any lengthy discussion with James, who explains that "finding fashionable, ethically-sourced headgear that can withstand over 5000 degrees Kelvin is a tough ask!"[1]
James is effusive in interviews about his hat, which supposedly took several years of globetrotting to find something which could withstand her flames while still being stylish. James encourages anyone "with plans to be on fire in the future[2]" to shop at the Hat Emporium, one of the retail outlets of the Siblings of Exposure.[3]
Personal Life
Miguel James finds success thanks to his "forbidden second", in which everyone collectively blacks out during her pitch windup. Team officials have described James's pitching motion as "like cracking an egg with chopsticks".
James is a self-taught textile engineer, who learned the skill as part of his quest to find a fireproof hat. She still regularly hand-sews the Sunbeams logo onto his hat, as she has yet to find a sufficiently fireproof applique and the logos keep burning off. In the offseason, he teaches fashion design courses at Hellmouth Community Collge.
James has one of the finest collections of (regrettably flammable) hats in the Immaterial Plane. Much of her collection predates his Adaptation into a humanoid fireball. Her instaglam, as of the time of writing this article, has 14 followers.
Controversies
Official Miguel James merchandise has been linked to collectors befalling fire-based misfortunes of various stripes. This has included spontaneous combustion, hallucinations of fire and smoke, and the Tug. The "curse" has not been observed in counterfeit merchandise, as all of it spontaneously combusts upon completion of manufacture.[4]
This phenomenon has been observed in replica uniforms, "Flames of James Lighter Fluid And Commemorative 'Beverage' Flask"s, and Tlopps cards.
Trivia
- One of James’s many hobbies is trying to do kickflips and failing. Oliver Mueller has offered to teach him, but she refuses every time.
- James has a large immediate family, all living in Hellmouth. Despite them all having the same last name and being active members of the community, it took until Season 10 for the rest of the team to work this out.
- If James signs any denomination of bill, that bill is now worth five dollars. James frequently attempts to use this to get out of sticky situations (keyword being attempts).
- The current total cost of items James has borrowed from Iggy Delacruz and then lost is 237 dollars and 70 cents. It is unknown what Delacruz intends to do with this endlessly growing tab.
- James, due to a misunderstanding of their name, once attempted to fight the entirety of the Chicago Firefighters in the parking lot of an IHOLP.
- Since the opening of the Hellmouth, James has thrown 13 cell phones (11 his own, 2 other), 2 shoes (both left), and a framed photo of herself into the mouth. It is unknown if this is the beginnings of an elaborate performance art piece, or poor impulse control.
- The Seven-Helleven sells a flavor of Slurpee named after James, called “Flame-gos of Mangos.” The flavor is similar to Mango Chili Lime, with the special feature that, despite being frozen, it will always burn your tongue upon consumption.
- James is banned from most national parks, and is personally responsible for the popular slogan, “Only you can stop forest fires, Miguel James, you specifically, and you can do it by not visiting this park.”
- James’s exact height is hard to record, due to the fluctuation of the flames, but it can be firmly placed in the “short king” range.
- James can pitch, and is so, so good at it, and everyone loves it when he does, and loves to watch the good pitching.
- James did not write the above trivia fact.
