Physiology

Montgomery Bullock is a haunted suit of armor that is spiritually tied to the Montgomery County region of Maryland and its residents. While empty, Bullock is capable of independent locomotion, but lacks the reflexes, muscles, and blood, required to play blaseball competitively. In order to gain the required athleticism, it must keep a live human host inside the armor. To ensure compatibility, that host must be a current resident of Montgomery County, Maryland. When asked about their experiences inside the suit, former hosts universally reply "You just throw the ball" and refuse to elaborate.

Host Selection Process

The host selection process is conducted by the Montgomery County Department of Parks and Recreation. Residents' names are randomly selected from lists of registered voters and people with drivers licenses. The people randomly selected complete a questionnaire to help determine if they are qualified to serve as Montgomery Bullock's host. Those qualified are randomly chosen to receive a mail summons which typically arrives about 10 days before their assigned game date. Hosts serve for one game and are provided with free* transportation to away games.

Controversy

There have been several attempts at ballot initiatives to withdraw the county from the league, but thus far none have been able to secure enough signatures to be placed on the ballot.
