History

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

Orville Manco was born in 1902 as the heir to the Manco Popcorn fortune. However, when they told their family they "just wanted to play some ball," Orville was disowned by their family and forced to leave the Manco residence. Little is know about their time after this except for various newspaper clippings found reporting they were travelling around the country, playing for whatever team would have them. The last recording of Orville was an obituary saying how the pitcher was struck by lightning while riding their pennyfarthing bicycle. Their body was never found.

In modern day, during a cookout at the George Foreman Stadium, the sound of ragtime jazz was heard on the wind, and an apparition was seen riding towards the Steaks' dugout. The ghost of what was Orville Manco appeared before the team, having become fused with the pennyfarthing into some sorta weird ghost/bicycle/centaur thing. Orville was invited to become a permanent member of the Dallas roster, and now the ghost of Orville Manco appears whenever they are most needed (pretty much exactly every 5 games). Their ghostly form rides through the left field wall, peddling to the mound where they fight on behalf of the Dallas Steaks.

The fans still haven't figured out how a ghost holds the blaseball.

Trivia

• Before each game, applies a generous helping of castor oil to their bicycle hinges and their big, beautiful mustache.
• Finds Sebastian Telephone unnerving due to his "newfangled, fancy technology."
• Works for 35¢ per day, helping the Steaks stay below the salary cap.
• Sponsored by O'Houlihan's Miracle Swill and reads an ad for them at the top of each inning. O'Houlihan's went out of business in 1938 but Orville refuses to acknowledge this.
