Many have speculated that Mason is not actually the human-sized rat who goes by Rat Mason but instead is a rat who lives under his Blaseball cap and is, to quote social media, "piloting this [respectable] [fellow] Ratatouille-style." Tacos management has not confirmed this rumor due to a respect for Mason's privacy. When asked about these rumors, Manager [[Al Pastor]] said, "Sure we've never seen our boy Rat without his hat on, but we think it's like, totally chill if he's actually a rat who dreams of being a splorts star. Like they say: Anyone can Blaseball."

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

History

Background

A transplant to Los Angeles from New York, Mason was an aspiring dancer before he surrendered to the call of professional blaseball. He is known for batting with his right hand but throwing with his left. When not on the field, he is often found in the back of one of the numerous taco trucks that surround the Tacos' stadium.

Mason lives in WeHo (The City of West Hollywood) with his husband Penny Polk, an LA native. The premiere Splorts Tabloid, the Blaseball Enquirer, has published a series of rumors that the couple are considering a divorce, citing that Polk has never been seen at one of Mason's games. Neither Mason nor Polk has commented on whether the divorce rumors are true.

The Many Faces of Rat Mason

According to the Interdimensional Rumor Mill, some things never change, even across dimensions. Someone, somewhere, decided to catalog all the different versions of Rat Mason in a Rumor Registry, but today the version from IF-41.597 is playing. Here’s what the rumors say...

Rat Mason and Their Pet Rat

Rat Mason, a young adult human, is never seen without the company of their pet rat. The pair's team has often reported finding them atop stairway railings or lockers while waiting for practice to begin, seemingly always moving. Graffitied walls spotted in and around Al Pastor Memorial Stadium are assumed to be Rat's work.

Prior to their career with the Tacos, Polk first entered the public eye when they held an elaborate marriage ceremony between their pet rat and a wild rat they referred to as Penny in the middle of Los Angeles. The reception was attended by several dozen mice, rats, squirrels, and other rodents, and afterward Polk paraded the couple through the streets with a megaphone, shouting "These Rats are Gay and there's Nothing you can do about it!"

Looking for a place to divert energy from mischief and hang out with people besides their pet rat, Polk signed up for Al Pastor's kickball league out of genuine interest. Finding out upon entry of the first scheduled day of practice that the league was indeed, not for Kickball, came as a shock, but the Rat duo quickly developed a knack for Blaseball. With their pet resting atop their head at bat, and promptly placed onto the field after hits to run bases together, the two have came to be known as a hit or miss duo, crucial to the Unlimited Tacos lineup.

The name Rat Polk, reported as their name in media outlets after the rat marriage, has been the only name to stick with them throughout their Blaseball career (albeit modified during the Wyatt Masoning). 'Polk' may or may not be short for 'Polkadot'.


Trivia

Mason has missed the exit from the 405 to the 101 several times.

Mason reportedly wears jersey number 69.
