During the Election, star player Terrell Bradley's Alternate was called as a result of opening the NEW Forbidden Book, and the Team gained Strike One as a result of winning the Strike Zero Blessing.

Scouting Report

During Fall Ball, each team received a Scouting Report to assist new Fans in picking their team. The Spies' Scouting Report read as follows:

• Sneaky Postseason operators, the Spies have made the playoffs 11 out of a possible 23 times over the past two Eras. Still, a Spies Championship remains Missing-in-Action. Will they achieve their mission? Intel says: Spies REDACTED!
• The Spies lead the League in home runs, with 3484, over 100 more than the 2nd place Team, the Dallas Steaks.
• Former star Player Fitzgerald Blackburn holds the record for most Home Runs hit during a single Postseason, with 10 blasts in Season 16.

Season Events

Additional Players

Before games began but after Fall Ball had concluded, four players, not present at all during previous iterations of Blaseball, were added to the Spies' lineup to complete a typical 14-player roster: Faye Melange, Mindy Khan, Chester Abu-Zaid and Sevgi Gore.

Horizon Falls

During Horizon weather, a number of Players fell from the Black Hole, burying themselves in the team's lineup. For the Houston Spies, they were:

• Leo Baron, during Game 24
• Munavoi Rochester, during Game 52

Additionally, during Game 34, Mindy Salad Fell from the Horizon, hitting Scratch Deleuze and knocking them into the Shadows. Finally, during Game 64, Bees Gorczyca Fell from the Horizon, hitting Mindy Khan and knocking them into the Shadows.
