Early Life

Peanut Bong is the oldest heir of the Bongs, a prominent family from Miami who made their wealth from developing and patenting smoking accessories.

Peanut is the oldest of six children, and knew they were different from an early age. While their parents encouraged them to attend school, especially their math classes, Peanut could often be found sneaking out at night to practice their pitching at Slouth Beach. Because it was dark and there was no one to pitch to, Peanut’s pitching style developed erratically. However, at age 16, they threw a ball so hard against a wall that the wall exploded into a pile of peanuts, and that was when they knew that blaseball would be forever calling their name. Looking back, the explosion of peanuts may even have been a sign of the name change waiting in their future.

Career

Accustomed to being an underdog in their family of tax attorneys and business moguls, Peanut was delighted to join the Miami Dalé when they were spotted playing on the beach by a scout for the team. It is said that the Bong family does not condone Peanut's career choices and, in a XX09 interview, matriarch Adeline Bong displayed her discontent with "Nutty not becoming a tax attorney like their siblings."

Personal Life

Despite their semi-estrangement from their family, Peanut is an enthusiast of "natural cures" and "expanding our minds."
