While they share a surname with Charleston Shoe Thieves player Cornelius Games, and New York Millennial player Richardson Games, it has been confirmed that the three players share less than 80% of their biomass and thus are allowed to compete as separate players.
They are rumored to be descended from Calypso, the late three-legged sea turtle who once lived in the National Aquarium.
Personal life
Valentine Games is Jewish.
Pedro Davids and Games were longtime penpals before joining the league. Both have stated that they continue to write letters to each other despite the frequency with which they see each other in person.
They describe the importance of Berger cookies in nearly every interview, stating, "I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't eat a Berger cookie with every meal. Yes, of course that includes breakfast. Why wouldn't it?"
Valentine's Day
The popular holiday Valentine's Day was named in Games' honor. This is why people on Valentine's Day are often seen wearing the Baltimore Crabs' iconic red.
In Literature
Valentine Games is the subject of a poem by Crabs Poet Laureate Runolfio Peeper:
The gifts the Gods provide are hard to parse
Depending on the God, it’s all a farce
Like Gods who blessed the Lovers and the Pies
And caused thousands of Crabs to curse the skies
The Olde One also works in cryptic ways
But Their actions warrant nothing but our praise
Take Valentine Games—they’re neither saint nor sinner
Yet earned a hallowed flying peanut dinner
Valentine was lingering in the field
Awaiting hits the other team might yield
He squinted and adjusted the bright red
Yarmulke attached upon his head
He spotted peanuts raining from the sky
And afterwards he could not tell you why
But in his mind he saw a clicking claw
So carefully he opened up his jaw
The taste of peanut was a bit complex
And nervously he pondered the effects
But soon a warmth enveloped him throughout
A ball flew through the air, he caught it out
For others, peanuts seemed to be a curse
But Valentine was given the reverse
For when he ate the peanut he became
An even greater lover of the game.
