Sandoval Crossing is a pitcher for the Hellmouth Sunbeams. Crossing has been with the Hellmouth Sunbeams since Season 1. They are known for having the highest strikeout count across the League in Season 3.
Official League Records
Crossing gained league-wide notoriety during Season 3 for performing a total of 172 strikeouts, the highest of any pitcher in the League that season[1].
On Season 4, Day 16, Crossing held Moist Talkers 5-star pitcher PolkaDot Patterson in a 4-run-a-side deadlock for 17 innings, until "Patterson blinked first" and █████ scored a solo home run in the eighteenth.
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
Career
Crossing is known for their unique pitching style, where they gently toss the ball in a Sunward direction before violently accelerating it through impact with their crossing-guard sign. This technique, while unorthodox and skirting the edges of blaseball legality, is suspected to be responsible for Crossing's Season 3 strikeout record.
Crossing says they owe this technique to a "sport" called "tennis", a (presumably) splort-like ritual he is said to have played when he still resided on the Material Plane.
In interviews with the pitcher himself, Crossing alleges he fell through a time hole in the year 200X, during his afternoon crossing guard job outside Moab's Grand County Middle School. They emerged mostly unscathed at the Dawn of Blaseball, and have been playing ever since. Citing zero experience with blaseball, they adapted skills they had learned from playing "tennis" to surprising effect on the blaseball mound.
Trivia
- Notably, they once hatched a smaller version of themselves from an egg during a game.
- Crossing and Hades Tigers batter Fish Summer jointly hold the record for "longest (and only) rally in a blaseball game", when Crossing forgot what splort he was playing and smacked Fish's flyball out of the air in the batter's direction. Summer responded in kind, resulting in a 29-minute, 643-shot rally and the general vexation of all observing.
- Crossing is reportedly known best among fellow players not for their pitching ability, but for their explosive post-game tantrums. Once, fed up after a losing game, they removed their cleats, placed them on top of a stadium garbage bin, and lit the entire thing on fire.
- They are reportedly legally required to sing "Enter Sandman" whenever asked.
- Despite not having a phone or a computer, Crossing has a Twitter @rallypitcher. She allegedly tweets by writing notes, wrapping them around pebbles, and using her sign to pitch them into Twitter's Hellmouth HQ, which is right next to Crossing's apartment.
- Crossing makes a mean chili con carne[2], among other delectable meal options.
