Presence

The Hades Tigers' "Mascot" is known by many names to its fans: The Ill Wind, The Sense of Dread, The Presence. Their mascot is not one of flesh and bone but of mind and spirit. It is the ominous feeling within one's gut as they take the field against the Tigers, the Impending Doom felt in a visiting fan's core as Victory continues to slip further and further away. While many dismiss its existence, Tigers fans are fervent believers in this terrifying entity. Pre-game. mid-game, and post-game rituals are performed to safeguard the Tigers' fans and players from its wrath, and direct its fury upon their foes.

Third Season Prophecy:

It was foretold that upon the arrival of a player with a legendary bat, The Presence would manifest into reality and strike fear into the hearts of those who oppose Hades Tigers. The prophecy, while vague and cryptic, was brought into the hellfire's light when Kick Rocks managed to accidentally procure Jessica Telephone for the Hades Tigers team. When she made her way to her new home, her legendary bat seemed to hum and resonate with the crackling energy of the stadium. While it was a period of Siesta, there was a crowd of fans at the stadium waiting on election results and ushering in the new season of blaseball; their love and passion for the game resonated with the mystical nature of Telephone's bat; the fear, excitement, and ritual of the players; and the unending solar eclipse of the Discipline Era. A storm brewed.

The orange energy crackled and shook the stadium where it stood, deep in the bowels of hell. The grass was scarred by the spindling energy of the fans' passion and love struck out onto center field culminating in a billowing, ever shifting shape of what can only be described as loosely resembling a three headed tiger containing eyes moving freely about the body; a shifting and ever growing amount of infinite teeth lining a never ending maw; innumerable stripes lining their energized form; and claws sharp enough to tug and tear at reality itself. This is not the only shape of The Manifestation, but is its most common form. It is a manifestation of the Hades fans' willpower. The fans strode up next to the newly-arrived Telephone, and roared with a chorus of voices "MANY STRIPES. ONE TIGER."
