The Sunbeam's position of favor and privilege with both [[The Sun]] and the forces of the Hellmouth itself  protected them from [[incineration]] during the first season of the [[Discipline Era]]. This protection has not continued past the initial season.
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
== History ==
 
 
=== Move to Hellmouth ===
 
Prior to the opening of [[The Book of Blaseball|The Forbidden Book]], the Sunbeams were located in the Moab Desert. However, once The Book was opened, the desert, stadium, and team were all swallowed by [[Hellmouth]].
 
 
Regarding the move, star rookie [[Alaynabella Hollywood]] said: "Well, honestly it really isn't any hotter than the ol' Moab was. I mean, sure, a lot more things are on fire, but that's a nice bonus."
 
 
=== Incineration ===
 
No Sunbeams players were incinerated during the first season of the Discipline Era. This led some fans to begin requesting that protection be lifted from "maybe a few of our pitchers" in hopes of a more skillful replacement. Perhaps out of spite, four-star batter [[Rhys Trombone]] was incinerated by a rogue umpire early in [[Season 3]]. Sun Loyalists have claimed this to not to be an [[incineration]] but an act of "divine alchemy" working on the very innards of the team. A popular belief is that the incineration of Trombone was part of a [[Sol|Coach Sol]] led tanking strategy to secure better draft picks. However, several other players have since been incinerated, and there hasn't yet been any sort of draft at all, leading to many questions raised as to the legitimacy of these claims. Loyalists respond, "I mean, maybe the sun isn't protecting us. Who really knows at this point?"
 
 
 
== Rivalries ==
 
 
=== Hades Tigers ===
 
The Sunbeams do not currently officially recognize any non-rivals other than the [[Hades Tigers]], with whom the Sunbeams share what can only be described as the antithesis of a rivalry. Whenever the two teams play each other, fans cheer on the opposing team and can often be heard shouting "TIGERBEAMS!" This affinity is often attributed to the two teams having home cities located in similar environments - other teams tend to be uncomfortable in the extreme heat of the [[Hellmouth]] and [[Hades]].
 
 
=== Seattle Garages ===
 
The situation with the [[Seattle Garages]] cannot really be called a rivalry as the Sunbeams simply don't understand that they exist as a Blaseball team. The Beams do not believe in the ''Seattle Garages'' as a Blaseball team, instead believing their "team" to be a garage band that happens to be at the stadium when they're scheduled for a game. The Sunbeams are always moderately surprised that the band does so well in Blaseball despite not actually being a Blaseball team. The phrase "The Seattle Garage Band is doing pretty well for not having any players." is heard often.

== Romantic Life ==
 
An indeterminate number of the Sunbeams' roster are dating an equally indeterminate number of the [[Hades Tigers|Hades Tigers']] roster at any given time, and nobody is quite sure how many and for how long. The compatibility most likely due to their teams' similar infernal nature, and this unholy coupling has resulted in many cute Hell dates as well as several meteorologic phenomena such as raining jellyfish, frog tornadoes, and gelatin earthquakes. Any inquiries for the players as to their relationship status with the Tigers will be met with a localized weather phenomena following the inquirer for several days, so most fans and media have learned to avoid this topic altogether.

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


History

For more information about the Sunbeams, see Hellmouth Sunbeams/History.

Move to Hellmouth

Prior to the opening of The Forbidden Book, the Sunbeams were located in the Moab Desert. However, once The Book was opened, the desert, stadium, and team were all swallowed by Hellmouth.

Incineration

No Sunbeams players were incinerated during the first season of The Discipline Era. This led some fans to begin requesting that protection be lifted from "maybe a few of our pitchers" in hopes of a more skillful replacement. Perhaps out of spite, four-star batter Rhys Trombone was incinerated by a rogue umpire early in Season 3. Sun Loyalists have claimed this to not to be an incineration but an act of "divine alchemy" working on the very innards of the team. A popular belief is that the incineration of Trombone was part of a Coach Sol led tanking strategy to secure better draft picks. However, several other players have since been incinerated, and there hasn't yet been any sort of draft at all, leading to many questions raised as to the legitimacy of these claims. Loyalists respond, "I mean, maybe the sun isn't protecting us. Who really knows at this point?"

Team Chemistry

The Sunbeams are known for their great team chemistry. Nobody blames anybody after a loss. They all go get smoothies from the concession stand. It is not recommended that anyone not on the team drinks the smoothies from the concession stand. The players have worked very hard to be able to tolerate those god-awful smoothies, and fans are certainly unprepared.


Rivalries

Hades Tigers

The Sunbeams do not currently officially recognize any non-rivals other than the Hades Tigers. Whenever the two teams play each other, fans cheer on the opposing team and can often be heard shouting "TIGERBEAMS!"

Seattle Garages

The situation with the Seattle Garages cannot really be called a rivalry as the Sunbeams do not believe in the Seattle Garages as a Blaseball team, instead believing their "team" to be a garage band that happens to be at the stadium when they're scheduled for a game.


Staff


Stadium

The Sunbeams' stadium (aka The Solarium) holds the record for the blaseball pitch with the most vertical distance between bases. This is due to both the stadium's 20° incline and its unique structural design as a result of the opening of the Hellmouth.

The stadium can be entered during a siesta, which causes a Bad Gateway that opens directly onto first base.

The stadium is separated into several sections separated by a Hellmouth sinkhole. In order of distance from the center of the Hellmouth these sections are:

  • Sub-Ocean
  • The Undercroft
  • Third Base and Minor Outlying Bases
  • The Dugouts
  • Infield
  • Stadium Seating and Refreshments
    • The Rhys Trombone Memorial Food Court and Equestrian Center, run by the titanic moth who sells hot dogs
  • Outfield
  • Fourth Base
  • The Announcer's Booth
  • The Accounting Department


Fan Culture

For more on the Sunbeams' fan culture and chants, see Sunbeams/Fan Culture.

Gameday Traditions

Every time the Beams score a run, a child is allowed to hurl a pane of glass off the highest part of the stadium wall. This has led to numerous incidents of children trying to use psychic powers to manifest runs, which has been a great boost to the team's morale.

At the end of a winning home game, it is customary for the Sunbeams to dump the team's water cooler on the pitcher. The Hellmouth being what it is, this has resulted in 15 hospitalizations for steam burns this season.

In honor of Alexander Horne's revenge-driven grand slam tribute to Velasquez Meadows, fans of the Sunbeams refer to all grand slams as Horne Runs.
