Official League Records

During the Season β5 playoffs, in Game 4 of the 1st Round while the Moist Talkers led the Baltimore Crabs 2-1 in the series at that point.

History

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Bates first played Blaseball for York University in the Canadian University League. After dropping out of university, Bates briefly ran a bed and breakfast. Bates returned to the splort, after his nephew visited him in a dream.

His Nephew

Bates's nephew is presumed to be the child of his sister Eizabeth Elliott, who is a batter for the Yellowstone Magic. As of the present day, Elliott is not known to have any children.

Dietary History

On Day 31 of Season 3, Bates had a yummy reaction to a Peanut and gained one whole star rating. Before this day, Bates had never consumed protein in his entire life. When asked about how he felt about the change at a press conference, Bates stared vacantly and reported that "Mooney [Doctor] has [put him] on a steady diet of protein shakes to see if [he will] improve [his] batting." ^{[citation needed]}

Branding disputes

After Lin Manuel Miranda's Hamilton was released on Dlisney+, Bates has begun to insist that he be announced to the plate as "Elijah!" the same way the ensemble says "Eliza." The Moist Talkers Coaches told him to get a couple more hits and they would think about it. At present, Bates does not receive any announcement when walking to the plate.
