Constructing the Crabitat

• 
  Ground Broken - 1,204,999 Coins Spent
  • The Crabs break ground on Chesapeake Racetrack and Ballpark, selecting to build the Silverada prefab!
    THE FLAG IS PLANTED

Under Construction

At the start of Season β12, Fans discovered that if they clicked on a Black Hole weather icon, they could see the Baltimore Crabs' team page, which featured a new tab. The tab was covered with a red banner, reading "KEEP OUT," and when clicked on, showed the Chesapeake Racetrack and Ballpark, also known as The Crabitat. Fans who had chosen the Crabs as their favorite team saw an additional message that indicated construction would begin after Day 27, on the Earlsiesta.

Following the first Earlsiesta in Season 12, Fans of the Crabs were able to donate to the construction of their Ballpark, in the prefab styles of their choosing. The Fans fully funded the construction project in approximately 15 minutes, and were greeted with notice that the construction would complete after Day 72, the Latesiesta.

A warning ignored

However, while funding the Ballpark, bright red messages warned Fans of their choices:

WARNING: DO NOT CONTRIBUTE
DANGER
AUTHORIZED ENTITIES ONLY
CEASE AND DESIST
BREACH IMMINENT

Several days later, during the first Latesiesta, the Crabs descended from the Big Leagues, also bringing with them three new teams: the Atlantis Georgias , Core Mechanics, and Ohio Worms. Additionally, all other teams were able to see their own upcoming Ballparks, and donations for those began in the Season β13 Earlsiesta.

Roster Changes

While the Crabs did not play in season 12, they did find that when they returned to the league Squid Galvanic had moved from their Shadows to their Lineup.

Season Overview

The Return

The following summary mixes canon events with community lore.
The Crabs did not play in the 12th season, however their presence was hanging over the league in every Black Hole game, where the Crabs could be found within its depths. This was also when the Crabs were able to construct their ballpark, which they did despite multiple warnings, funding the operation in around 11 minutes.

On Day 72 with the conduction completed, a flood of immateria hit the league, bringing back not only the Crabs, but the Ohio Worms, the Atlantis Georgias, and the Core Mechanics. The four teams did not join at the end of the season, but were slotted into their new home in the Mild Low Division where they would begin season 13.

The return of the Crabs to the immaterial plane also gave the Chicago Firefighters a chance to present Tot Fox a key to the city and honourary firefighter status for successfully extinguishing the sun back in season 10.

Election

While they did not participate in the season, the Crabs benefited from long time friends the Chicago Firefighters winning the Tag Team Pitching blessing in the Season 12 Elections, boosting every player's pitching by 10%. In addition, they received The Rack blessing, boosting their overall defense by 15%.

The Crabs also made some roster changes, calling up Jacoby Podcast from their shadows, and sending Bevan Underbuck to a well deserved break.

The biggest surprise for the Crabs however, was the passing of their second will which was meant to revoke Evelton McBlase II from their lineup, and instead was won on 4% odds to grant them Fourth Strike. Now that their batters all had the Flinch modification they Crabs were expecting to have a rebuilding year, but it would seem that would have to wait. But no matter how the Crabs played the fans were just glad to have them back, and they know that everything would eventually Be Alright.
