Rat Mason
Rat Polk is a batter for the Los Angeles Tacos. A transplant to Los Angeles from New York, he was an aspiring dancer before he surrendered to the call of professional Blaseball. Polk 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.
He has missed the exit from the 405 to the 101 several times.
Many have speculated that Polk is not actually the humanoid player know as Rat Polk 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 Polk'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."
Polk lives in WeHo with his husband Penny Polk, a rat and LA native. The premiere Splorts Tabloid, the Blaseball Enquirer, has published a series of rumors that the couple are considering a divorce, citing that Penny has never been seen at one of Rat's games.
Polk has been a member of the team since Season 1.
