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 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' modification.
On Day 1 of Season 20, Kennedy Loser, the last remaining player with the Haunted 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
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. (🌵)
The Fifth Base
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 Base 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, who lost 7-1 against the runners up, the Mexico City Wild Wings.
The Investigation Concludes
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 Legendary modifier.
Season 21
Go Long
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-Handed 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
As soon as Parker MacMillan was unredacted in the Library, fans were able to view his player page, revealing additional information about the player with a very familiar name. Notably he had two modifiers that filled in the blanks regarding the incinerated teams that had begun populating the Hall: the Super Roamin' modification, combined with the newly discovered Firewalker modification.
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
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.
While fans were admittedly excited to see some of their favourite Preserved players again, as well as see the prehistory players on the teams, most of them pointed out the danger inherent in the Super Roamin' and Firewalker Parker MacMillan participating in a 50-inning game alongside the Trader New Megan Ito, who would in all likelihood attempt to steal MacMillan's The Force Field, the only thing keeping him from roaming out of the Vault and into the ILB, recreating the events of A Walk seen in the Library where he left unstable and incinerated teams in his wake, eventually making the entire league unstable and forcing the Snap Election.
Yet more fans pointed out that it would probably not be an issue, as several intrepid Data Witches had projections that showed the Sun (Sun) would probably reach 100% pressure before then, triggering whatever happens when suns die.
