Season 20

Sun(Sun)

After the Repeal Turntables Decree failed to pass, Sun(Sun) was set upon the league thanks to a Grand Bargain made by the Boss. Sun (Sun) caused "All Wins and Unwins to be Squared". In practice this meant that the unwins (-1 wins) became 1 win.

Additionally Sun (Sun) remained visible on the standings page, with a gauge labeled as "pressure" that seemed to rise with every Run, Win, and Incineration in the league. The Sun (Sun) also seemed to gain a large amount of pressure any time a new Sun was added to the league via a decree.

The Unquiet Dead

At the start of Season 20, the Monitor noted that they hadn't checked the hall in a bit as they had been kind of busy. They commented on the appearance of the Alaskan Immortals in the Hall under a new "Teams" section, as well the fact that Pudge Nakamoto had simply wandered out of the Hall during the last election due to their  Roamin'This Player has a chance to Roam at the end of each Season. modification.

On Day 1 of Season 20, Kennedy Loser, the last remaining player with the  HauntedHaunted players will occasionally be Inhabited.
Temporarily has the stats of a deceased player. modification, was inhabited by a deceased player named Abbott Wright. What was unusual about this was that no one knew who Wright was - they seemed to not be a part of any team's roster or shadows, including the newly discovered Immortals, and did not appear anywhere on the site. Attempts to find them in the game's search failed, and any attempts to pull up their player page while they were at bat also failed. Shorty afterwards Loser was inhabited by Alford Pliskin, who had all of the same mysteries, and over the course of the season he picked up a number of inexplicable haunts, nicknamed "Kennedy Loser's New Guys" or KLoNGs for short.

The Depth Chart

See the main article on Levels.
At the Season 20 Earsiesta the Boss confirmed the suspension of the Seasonal Readings to which the Reader replied go long and unveiled a new Depth tab on the site.

The new Depth Chart was was a way for teams to visualize where they fell along the league's levels. The Y axis of the grid represented a team's level in relation to the League, while the x axis represented an unknown variable. The chart was split across the middle with a line resembling the MVP line seen on the Idol Board, and teams moved closer to the Desert or Gate as their Credit Rating changed.

The top of the chart featured what seemed to be a desert with a number of cacti, while the bottom of the chart featured a number of clouds as well as the Gate that was seen on Blaseball 2. Noticing the connection to Blaseball 2, some fans checked to see if anything could be found at Blaseball 0, but found a plain white page with a single cactus emoji. (🌵)

While most teams bobbed around the center of the chart, the coming election featured a number of Blessings with the potential to impact a team's eDensity including Shots in the Dark, Couldn't Hurt, Heavy-Handed, Light-Handed, Strange Attractor, Backup or Down, Complete 180, Heads over Tails, and Low Five.

The Fifth Base

See the main article on Fifth Base (Item).
During the Season 19 elections, Jesús Koch received the Legendary Super Roamin' Fifth Base from the blessing of the same name, becoming Super Roamin' and roaming to a new team every 9 days.

On Day 38 the Fifth Base was placed down for the first time in The Oven and fans discovered the intricacies of the Legendary Item. A baserunner holding the The Fifth Base had a small chance of placing and stealing to the Fifth Base in the ballpark they were playing in, giving the ballpark  The Fifth BaseBallpark: Teams playing in this Ballpark must run five bases instead of four.
Team: This Team must run five bases instead of four.
See also: Glossary modification and removing the item from the player. If a baserunner was standing on the placed Fifth Base, they had a small chance of stealing the base, giving them the item and removing the modification from the ballpark.

The Base changed hands several times over the course of the season, and a full list of it's travels is available here.

Underhanded

As the season progressed, the effects of the Underhanded Blessing from the previous election began to take hold as Michelle Sportsman became the first player to achieve a negative ERA, ending the season winning 28 of her 32 games.

This was only the start of what was to come, as in the Giftshop that season teams were able to purchase an Underhanded cap, which resulted in a total of 17 pitchers across the league making use of the Underhanded modification, contributing to the league average ERA dropping form 4.5 to 4.1 between Season 19 and Season 20, something the Kansas City Breath Mints would take note of, and eventually use as a cornerstone of their first championship victory in Season 21.

The Underbracket

With the passing of the Under Bracket in the Season 19 Elections, losing teams were now able to compete in a losers tournament, with the goal to lose enough games to un-lose the Underbracket. Underbracket wins netted the team a Championship win for their team, though it was unclear if these would be counted towards Evolution.

The winners of the inaugural Underbracket were the San Francisco Lovers.

The Investigation Concludes

See the main article on the Investigation.
After the election in Season 20, it was declared that the Investigation led by Liquid Friend and Uncle Plasma had concluded. According to the Boss their hard work showed no foul play, and we could put all that behind Us. She then bid them to enjoy their retirement as the pair were preserved and placed in the Vault, gaining the  LegendaryThis Player is Legendary. modifier, as well as a message that they were "Stronger Together" as they both gained the  YolkedThis Player is Yolked! modifier.

Season 21

Go Long

See the main article on Levels.
As teams investigated the features of eDensity and Levels, fans were presented with a unique opportunity to explore as Chorby Soul, Soul edition appeared in the Gift Shop. This prompted two teams to seek out the infamously heavy-souled player.

The first was the Atlantis Georgias who, thanks to their  Light-HandedAll Items held by Players on this Team have negative eDensity. modifier were able to use Chorby's Soul to shoot to the 0 level on the Depth Chart on Season 21 Day 74. When the team reached the Desert on the chart it prompted a message from The Reader that was simply touch down, special teams, tumbleweed sounds. This resulted in Blaseball0 being updated to show a large number of cacti, and revealed a blagonball.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Ohio Worms reached the gate on Season 21 Day 75. This was due to them picking up their own Chorby Soul to plunge to the depths of the chart where, to the surprise the Worms the replicas of the Dynamic Duo protected them from the consumer attacks many had been dreading. When the Worms reached the Gate the monitor responded that something smells fishy . Now when players visited Blaseball 2 they were greeted by red fish bursting out of the broken gate. While the Monitor was quick to point out these were herring, my favorite , an arguably more important discovery was that this allowed players to upshell certain Investigation related events to get Red Herrings.

The Library Unveiled

With the discovery of Red Herrings fans realized that they could be used to react to the redacted entries in the Library, much the same way that they could use peanuts to react to feed massages. However rather than simply having Lōotcrates repeat messages when they reached 1000 reactions, redacted messages with 1000 Herring would be un-redacted, revealing the entry and occasionally giving fans access to additional information surrounding the entry such as player pages, or new teams appearing in the Hall of Flame.

As fans uncovered new events, players, and teams, they excitedly shared and recorded their results until finally they uncovered the first message in "An Eclipse"

Parker MacMillan left instability in their wake. The Alaskan Immortals became Unstable!

Parker MacMillan

See the main article on Parker MacMillan.
The discovery of Parker MacMillan also uncovered a number of permanent modifications that began to fill in the blanks regarding the incinerated teams that had begun populating the Hall: the  Super Roamin'This Player will Roam at the end of each Week and each Season. modification, combined with the newly discovered  FirewalkerWhen this Player leaves a Location, they'll leave Instability behind. modification. Additionally MacMillan was holding an item called The Force Field, that applied the  ForceThis Player is Forced into position. They cannot leave their current Location. modification, preventing him from leaving the Vault he was currently trapped in and spreading his instability across the league once more.  

The implications of this discovery, specifically the  Legendary status of Parker MacMillan and the naming convention of Replicas, quickly led fans to the theory that the current Commissioner, Parker MacMillan IIIII, along with his two predecessors could be replicas minted from the original Parker MacMillan.

MacMillan IIIII seemed to come to the same conclusion, quickly expressing his distress on the @Blaseball twitter account with a series of tweets, even going as far as to lock the account temporarily. On his return he did not seem to be his usual upbeat self, replacing the standard #partytime messages that season with half hearted attempts before being chided for his unprofessionalism and returning to the previous standard format.

Season 22

Semi-Centennial Announcement

See the main article on the Semi-Centennial.
At the start of the Season the Boss announced that the leauge would be hosting a 50-inning Semi-Centennial game to celebrate 50 years of blaseball. The game would take place between the Finals of Season 23 and the Election the next day, and would be played by a pair of all-star teams: The Vault Legends, who would consist of all of the legendary players in the Vault, and the Rising Stars which consisted of the (many) players who had and of the Ego modifications.

With recent revelations about certain prehistory players, there seemed to be a danger inherent in Parker MacMillan participating in a 50-inning game alongside New Megan Ito, who with her  TraderThis Player has a chance of swapping Items with an opponent during a game. and  TraitorThis Player has a chance of swapping Items with a teammate during a game. modifications would in all likelihood attempt to steal MacMillan's The Force Field. With The Force Field gone, MacMillan would be free to roam across the league once more, spreading instability as he went.

Yet more fans pointed out that MacMillan would probably not be an issue, as several intrepid Data Witches had projections that showed that with the addition of all the new Suns on this season's election ballot the Sun(Sun) would probably reach 100% pressure before then, triggering whatever happens when suns die.

Pitching Machine 2

Early on in the season the New York Millennials found themselves in a strange situation. As the Expansion Era progressed players found more and more ways to be sent Elsewhere, with Flooding, Salmon Cannons, Undertakers and failed Heists all playing a role. For the New York Millennials, on Day 12 they found that of their three pitchers, both Schneider Bendie and Sandie Carver had found themselves Elsewhere, leaving just Theodore Cervantes to pitch all of their remaining games until their teammates returned. Unfortunate Cervantes struggled on the mound that day and gave up 10 runs, activating Battin' Island's Fax Machine and swapping them out for Anathema Elemefayo. Elemefayo had however had fed Elsewhere to escape being caught in a Grad Heist before being shadowed in the Season 21 election, and while they pitched remainder of the game, as the game came to a close fans wondered who could be called up to pitch for the Millennials on Day 13, as all of the Millennials pitchers were now  .

This question was answered as soon as the rest of the league's games ended, with the Betting page now showing a game between the Hawai'i Friday's King Roland and the New York Millennial's newly acquired Pitching Machine (not to be confused with the Legendary Pitching Machine Preserved in the Vault). By the end of Day 13 the final score of the game was 10-7 for the Fridays, with the Pitching Machine giving up 10 runs and being replaced with the returning Cervantes, and with the missing Schneider Bendie returning from Elsewhere to bring the Millennials back up to a two pitcher rotation.

The Fifth Base (Continued)

See the main article on the Fifth Base (Item).
Since it's introduction the Fifth Base had been picked up and placed as lineup players moved around the league, seeing nine different owners in the two seasons. However, with the introduction of the Tunnels ballpark modification and it’s ratification in the league, it became possible for pitchers to steal items from other active players. This is notable because while the Super Roamin' Fifth Base was routinely being picked up and put down as players stole bases, pitchers were unable to do so as soon as it was stolen by a pitcher, it was unable to be placed again. Sure enough on Day 84 of the regular Season, Baldwin Breadwinner stole the fifth base from Jaxon Buckley roaming four times before ending up on the Boston Flowers, who managed to win the Traitor Item Crate, giving each of their players with an empty or broken item slot a Traitor item. The appeal of the legendary item caused the Fifth Base to change hands 13 times in the first week of Season 23 before ending up in the hands of Flower's pitcher Chorby Short, causing the item to remain with rotation players up until the end of the Expansion Era.
