Wyatt Masoning

Limited ed. Tlopps card of the multitudinous Wyatt Masons, by Cobaltcakes [@4damAvenue]

The Wyatt Masoning refers to the event that occurred at the Season 3 election results in which the entire team roster of the Unlimited Tacos inexplicably assumed the name of the team's worst hitter, Wyatt Mason.

Analysis

Little is know about the actual cause of the anomaly, though it is suspected to be heavily related to the passing of the Interviews decree, which declared the following:

• ERROR: The Grand Unslam Weakened The Bridge
• Spacetime Tears over Los Angeles
• The Infinite cit(ies) shine
• Platonic Form Corrupted
• You've looked too close...

The tear in spacetime is the source of the Tacos' name change from the Los Angeles Tacos to the Unlimited Tacos, but there is no apparent reason that Wyatt Mason would be directly targeted as a part of this event.

Though the decree is widely accepted as the cause of The Wyatt Masoning, fans have also speculated that the Tacos receiving the Anticapitalism blessing during the Season 3 Election might also have been at play. It may have been possible that upon becoming "fully anticapitalist" the team members all took worst-hitter Wyatt Mason's name in solidarity.

Outcome

Though the whole team now bears the name Wyatt Mason, none of their original stats changed (other than Wyatt Mason née Comfort Glover who suffered a loss in stats from the Exploratory Surgeries blessing during the Season 3 Election). The team also retained all of their individual, newly-revealed Interview statistics and characteristics, suggesting that they are still the original Tacos players in at least some form.

Shortly after the event, Umpire Chaff made a statement directly to Tacos fans that said:

WE TRIED TO KILL THE MASON, AND THE MASON'S POWER EXCEEDED OURS. THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. [...] I FEAR THE MASON

It is assumed that they referenced the original Wyatt Mason and not any of the other team members newly-dubbed Wyatt Masons nor the collective Wyatts Mason. What the nature of this power is has yet to be seen, as statistically Mason is still one of (if not the) worst players in the entire League.

History of Wyatt Mason

Going into Season 3, the original Wyatt Mason was a middling two-star hitter for the Tacos. Mason swallowed a peanut and had an allergic reaction on Season 3 Day 50, and then swallowed another peanut for another allergic reaction on Season 3 Day 64. He is one of the only known players to have swallowed two peanuts, and possibly the only player to have swallowed a peanut in two separate games.

The double-peanutting left Mason as the worst hitter on the team, dropping him to one-half star. Other than this, Mason was a relatively unremarkable figure in Blaseball and had gained no reputation as a fan favorite nor heel.
