History
Blaseball
Early in his career, Townsend had a two-pitch arsenal, consisting of two eephus pitches he insists are different. After being blessed with pseudo-thumbs, he has developed what blaseball scouts think is a knuckleball.
Despite his subpar numbers and poor reputation, Townsend has performed well historically against slugger Jessica Telephone. The reason for this unlikely success is debated by fans.
In a recent Garages fan poll, Townsend was named "the worst pitcher in the League, professionally and morally" despite there being several pitchers who are statistically worse than him. This has led some to believe that Townsend is among the most hated players in the history of Blaseball.
Music
Townsend is a former member of the Garages' band, Mike Townsend and the Seattle Garages[citation needed]. He was kicked out of the team band for "poor performance." Currently, he is the front man and sole member of The Who's on First (formerly known as The Way Cooler Anyway Mike Townsend Solo Project). During Season 2, the project their first song, "My Name Is Mike".[1]
Townsend is the subject of the Garages song "Mike Townsend (Is a Disappointment)".[2] The song depicts Townsend as being a disappointment, a loser, and a total disgrace.
Personal life
Townsend was born in and currently lives in Bellevue, Washington. Some suspect that this is partially the reason for his limited Blaseball success and soured reputation.
Townsend once suggested the Garages change their name to the Seattle Bread, due to his love of whole wheat with extra seeds. This only increased the friction between Townsend and the rest of the Garages.
