Logan Rodriguez/IF-05.410
Old Man Logan
Logan Rodriguez is a particularly ancient looking man of unknown origins. He claims to have been alive for several hundred years, and has dedicated his time to studying the natural world. Knowledgeable in the fields of botany, geography, zoology, and others, "Old Man" Logan can generally be found collecting specimens across the park, and maintains a massive body of research on the natural workings of Yellowstone.
He is skilled in a number of the druid arts, and can often be found being consulted by other orders on his daily nature hikes through the park. He has a particular affinity with small mammals, and is often followed by at least one[1] wolverine as he proceeds about his daily business. He has on several occasions petitioned for the more talented of these wolverines to join the Magic as part of the team's catching staff, though has had little success convincing Coach Merlinmeyer of the idea's validity.
Rodriguez was not invited to join the team, but instead forced his way onto the roster after several other pitching candidates dropped out of consideration claiming a general lack of sleep, and "bad, wolverine related, omens." He has a passion for the splort, but seems mostly interested in the close relationship it allows him to maintain with Yellowstone, which he believes to have a number of undiscovered magical properties.
Alas, very little of this actually helps him on the mound.
Rodriguez is best known for his inconsistent performance on the mound which has let to both shutouts and chokes, the most notable being "Old Man Logan's Inning."Logan Rodriguez/IF-3.15.23
The Contract
When Logan Rodriguez was a young man, early in his blaseball career, he was incredibly worried about letting his fans down. One day, while signing merchandise that was meant for the Yellowstone Ballpark Shop, unbeknownst to him, there was a contract hiding out in the pile of posters. When signed, shadows filled the room and a voice whispered in his ear. “I heard your pleas. It is done. You will never let your fans down.”
This contract forbade him from retiring willingly. Since that point, he has grown more and more tired, season after season. Hoping to retire, wanting to retire, but unable to. He must be forced out by the fans, who adore him and have adored him for generations, or by the coaching staff, who are reluctant to force a fan favorite to retire.

Logan Rodriguez first became known for his working as host and waiter at a cosplay catboy cafe. Initially shy and reluctant at work, feeling out of place, Rodriguez quickly warmed up to his co-workers and the job, and became skilled at acting out the likeable catboy waiter fantasy for the customers at the cafe. He quickly rose in popularity among the customers, with many regulars coming to see him specifically at the cafe. Unfortunately, with the popularity came some rude folks with boundary issues. As Rodriguez kept working at the cafe, over the years he’d be exposed to more and more rude and unruly folks, souring his disposition towards customers he wasn’t familiar with. He became grouchy and irritable by default, only ever warming up towards regulars he felt he could trust. However, this backfired on him: more and more customers found this cat-like behavior to be cute, with some even going as far as to dub him a “tsundere.” Word of mouth spread, and despite his increasing age, Rodriguez found himself to be yet more popular among the customers.
Rodriguez put in his notice and looked for work elsewhere, hoping for something that puts as much distance as possible from the public. He started working for the National Park Service, interested in becoming a fire lookout and living alone in a fire tower for months at a time. However, because of arcane laws and confusing contracts, Logan Rodriguez found himself being added as a player to a newly formed ILB team called the Yellowstone Magic.
Despite the increased distance, both metaphorically and literally, Rodriguez retains a distrust and disliking towards the public, here Fans instead of customers. Where other players might get emotionally invested in how Fans bet and idol players, he’s apathetic and at times spiteful towards it all. While Rodriguez generally gets along with his team, this can result in conflicts as others may think he doesn’t really care about how the team performs. On the other hand, when a teammate is struggling under the pressure, Rodriguez plays up the apathy and spite towards the Fans in an attempt to help and cheer them up.
Recently, when James Mora showed an interest in Rodriguez's past, Rodriguez started teaching James some of the mannerisms and performance from his catboy cafe gig. Rodriguez has described those skills as, “surprisingly useful in social situations.” When asked, Mora refused to comment on this.Logan Rodriguez/IF-89.257

Rodriguez is best known for his inconsistent performance on the mound which has let to both shutouts and chokes, the most notable being "Old Man Logan's Inning."
In an attempt to become more consistent after Season Four, Rodriguez eschewed his usual winter workouts with his wolverine catchers. Instead he traveled to Yellowstone's Death Zone to pitch to the park's most fearsome hitters - the Rhison created by American zoologists in the 1980s. Batting with their horns, they have incredible power, but also the patience to spray balls all over Yellowstone Park's massive surface. Armed with the Knowledge of the Rhison, he pitched the Magic to victory in his first start of Season Five.
Later on, Logan sequestered himself away for some time in between Seasons 9 and 10 in an unknown location possibly within the Parkpark, but this is yet unconfirmed. Yellowstone Magic medical staff discovered, during a routine pre-season checkup, that Logan had taken it upon himself to significantly alter his physical form during this time. (Note: 'significantly altered' is defined as, 'something more than just a haircut or some nail polish or something, use your judgement' according to the medical staff handbook)
His body is now coated in a mass of organic matter which seems to have formed a symbiotic relationship with him. It is unknown if this mass is blood moss or some form of fungus, but the medical staff did have to admit it looked "pretty cool" hanging off of his shoulders. As a result, either through the study of Blood Magic, or potentially bonding with the sanguine elements of the wilds, Logan has gained a powerful ability to siphon the blood from other living beings. And along with this power, he has gained a thirst to match. The medical staff was not harmed during the physical examination.
Remarkably, it appears that infusions of blood can also reverse the effect of ageing on Logan's body, putting his status as the resident "Old Man" in question. He claimed that, given sufficient license to partake, he could even return himself to his former peak of physical fitness. Though team management remains skeptical, and eager to push Logan towards retirement, they have agreed to wait and observe this phenomenon before taking further action.
Potential updates to come later this season.
