Famous Owens is a no good and horrible raccoon who enjoys frolicking through the trash. Taking a considerable amount of glee in awful behaviour, they are known to stare unblinking into onlookers' eyes while tipping over garbage cans, slowly pushing cups off of edges, and eating various disgusting things they found.

Unfortunately, Owens is also a dashing rogue and in spite of how incredibly infuriating these antics are, their teammates and fans cannot help but find the terrible gremlin endearing. Up until they realise Owens stole their lunch. It is unclear how a raccoon came to play the splort of blaseball, but the prevailing rumour is that Owens annoyed Hades so much that he placed them onto the field of play as punishment. Unfortunately, this backfired after Owens turned out to be both good at the game and enormously capricious, playing well for only so long as it held their interest. Indeed, the Sixth Circle Stadium has a number of special, sound-proofed boxes for spectators to enter and curse Owens out after they blew a three-run lead at the bottom of the ninth. Again.

Owens is a notorious face thief, which is to say, they collect party masks that they find in the trash. It's horrifying.

During the Semi-Centenniel, an alleged incident concerning Owens occurred. While neither Owens nor any other Tigers were publically sighted during the match, city sanitation reported an uptick in turned over dumpsters and garbage cans throughout Hades. Certain homes were vandalized more heavily, with trash strewn across a larger area, sometimes reaching the inside of their owner's homes. While seemingly unconnected, officials soon concluded that those who have had the insides of their homes vandalized were often Blaseball fans who had idoled Tiger player Lottie Ceilingfan, whose presence on the idolboard has resulted in a summon to join the League's Rising Stars as a shadow player. While there has been no official response to this conspiracy theory, an undisclosed Tigers player had snickered before saying, quote, “lmao deserve”.
