Open meadow on the outskirts of town

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

An open meadow on the outskirts of town is home stadium of the Kansas City Breath Mints. It is known for its minty fresh air. Prior to Season 2, the Mints played in the Kansas City FreshDome.

The air in an open meadow on the outskirts of town is known for its rejuvenating properties. When Winnie Hess first filled her lungs with its minty exurban freshness after relocating from Baltimore, she immediately became a two-and-a-half star pitcher.

Having no marked boundaries, determining home runs and foul balls in the open meadow is more of an exercise in divination than science. More than one splorts-fan has attempted to stretch the home field advantage by changing plot lines at the county recording office, so most games require at least one surveyor to be present.

After suffering two player incinerations in Season 4, fans placed a velvet victorian fainting couch between second and third base, should any player or splorts-fan need to fling themselves upon it out of grief. As of yet, no one has attempted to move the tear-stained furniture.

Pre-Game Rituals

Thanks to the long-term effects of the meadow, all Kansas City Breath Mint fans carry a small pocket of freshness within their lungs. Minty fans bussing to away games routinely step outside, taste the air and exclaim “Ahhhhh, Kansas City!” regardless of where they stop. Following this pre-game ritual, the exhalations of Minty fans spread a little bit of minty freshness wherever they go, slowly converting the rest of the world’s viable oxygen into Kansas City air. This is probably fine.

Memoriam

Beyond the outskirts of the meadow, a large steakknife stands proudly in the earth. The blade has an inscription that reads "Brevity is the soul of Whit". It is rumored whoever pulls this hallowed blade from the ground shall be King born of Kansas City.

A section of Stands was converted into a memorial fan zone for Whit Steakknife it is known as the Knife Block. The Block features individual slots for fans to watch the game while suspended upside-down as the slots conform and contour to each fan's individual body size. A monitor within the slot allows the fan to watch the action live and microphones from within project fans' cheers out to the field. The project was completed after the Season 5 regular season finished. The Breath Mint's front office states that the section is already completely sold out for all Season 6 home games. A few lucky fans were able to experience the Knife Block at its dedication ceremony. Speaking to the press about the experience one fan said, "Should I have this much blood in my brain?"

It is currently unknown what kind of memorial(s) will be/are planned for Eduardo Ingram. When asked for comment on the matter General Manager Max Betmint stated: "Do you know how hard it is to ethically source four-hundred-thousand tons of feathers?" and declined to comment further on the matter.

There is a goblin cave to the North, and the area is considered appropriate for four adventurers between levels 1 and 3.

KC General Manager, Max Betmint, has already started several publicity campaigns to turn the site into a tourist attraction, something the team vehemently opposes.
