History

Wesley Poole was allegedly born to Ernest and Gabardine Poole in an undisclosed location on an undisclosed date before moving to Chicago, where he was from, to take a job at Milky Tech Preparatory Academy as well as work as a volunteer firefighter. He was the campus poolboy at the academy until it was consumed by flames in the Great Chicago Blaseball Fire. Poole hid within the Milky Tech pool for the duration of the fire, until his fellow firefighters defeated the blaze.

Poole now acts as the "poolboy" for Lake Michigan, which he often refers to as "Lake Chicago". It is at this time unclear what being the poolboy of a great lake actually entails.

Ever since being reverbed to the pitching position in Season 5, Wesley stands in a kiddie pool filled with Royal Crown Malort on the mound.

Like all of us, he is from Chicago. His jersey number is 309.
