Notable Events

Season 1

Season 1, Day 90 of the season saw the Miami Dale, Baltimore Crabs, and Philly Pies in a close three-way race for the Good Conference's fourth seeded spot. The Dale defeated the Hades Tigers in their last game of the season and were able to advance to the postseason. However, they were knocked out of the Quarter Finals by the Moab Hellmouth Sunbeams after suffering three straight losses.

During the Season 1 elections, the Dale won the NEW Randomize Players blessing, which called in alternates for the five worst players on the team's roster. Una Manhattan, Edric Tosser, and Serge Shortvat all gained the Alternate modification; Eddie Mulberry gained the Alternate modification twice as the first and last player to be alternated. The alternates represented an apparent overall stat increase for the four affected players. Only Tosser and Shortvat suffered any decrease to relevant stats with both falling from 2 1.5 Vibes.

Season 2

The Dale entered Party Time on Season 2, Day 90 after falling one win behind the San Francisco Lovers. The Dale were only targeted by this season's new Solar Eclipses twice this season: on Day 61 Tahini Poinsettia avoided gaining the Knighted modification by parrying an umpire's swear and on Day 77 a Mage Umpire ruled in Edric Tosser's favor, boosting their stats.

The Dale did not win any blessings in this season's elections.

Season β1

There is nothing notable about the Miami Dale's first season.

Season β2

The Dale suffered multiple player incinerations during Season β2, losing Jenna Maldonado and Aldon Anthony. As the team with the 5th worst record, they missed the cutoff for receiving the Fourth Strike blessing by exactly 1 win.

Season β3

Hitter Theodore Passon was incinerated early in the season. The team was hit hard by the Peanut Plague, with hitters Raúl Leal, Randy Dennis, and rookie Sixpack Santiago all suffering allergic reactions and taking a hit to their stats.

The Dale were subjected to the Rigour Mortis blessing during the Season β3 Offseason. Won by the Houston Spies, the blessing was intended to impair the Spies' divisional rivals' baserunning by 10%, but instead backfired and boosted it.

Season β4

This was the Dale's strongest season since Season β1, despite the loss of reliable hitter Farrell Seagull to the Seattle Garages a third of the way in.

In the Season β4 Election, the Dale won the Evil Wind Sprints blessing with 0% of the vote, improving the team's baserunning by 15%. The Alternate Reality decree swapped Jasmine Washington and Rivers Clembons with alternate universe versions of themselves, both of whom had lower stats. Finally, the Dale were hit with Questioning Their Every Decision, which impaired the team's minimum vibes by 7%.

Season β5

Unfortunately, the Dale's improved baserunning was overshadowed by their impaired vibes, the lower stats of both of their Alternates, and feedback-related roster shakeups. The Dale ended the season with 8 fewer wins than in Season β4.

On Season β5, Day 74, the Dale were hit with reverb that shuffled several players. This resulted in Sixpack Santiago becoming a pitcher and Don Elliott becoming a batter. This had a negative impact on performance, as Don Elliott had been a solidly reliable pitcher and subsequently struggled in the lineup. Raúl Leal and Murray Pony also switched places in the batting order.

In the Season β5 Election, the High Filter decree moved the Dale to the Wild Low division of the newly created Wild League.

Season β6

On Season β6, Day 18, the Dale were hit with Feedback that swapped pitcher Francisca Sasquatch with former Unlimited Tacos player Wyatt Owens. The Dale were hit with reverb twice during Season β6: on day 34, affecting their rotation, and on day 95, affecting their lineup. Both were considered a net positive, as they placed the team's worst pitcher and worst hitter at the end of the rotation and lineup, respectively. On Day 80, the Dale were hit with feedback that swapped Hahn Fox with Boston Flowers batter Beck Whitney. As the best hitter on the team (and, as demonstrated by being the target of the Vulture blessing, in the division), Fox's loss was felt deeply by the team.

In the Season β6 Election, the Dale received a unique status which deemed them The Life of the Party and provided them with a 10% bonus on improvements due to the passed Enhanced Party Time decree. The Dale also benefited from the Boston Flowers receiving the Sharing Signs blessing, which improved their hitting by 10% and impaired their pitching by -5%, along with all of Wild Low. This was balanced by the Hellmouth Sunbeams winning the Move the Mounds Closer decree, which improved all of the Wild Low, including the Dale's, pitching by 10% and impaired their hitting by -5%. Together, these division-wide blessings resulted in a 5% increase to the entire team's hitting and pitching.

Season β7

The stat improvements showed in the Dale's record, as they won 9 more games than in Season β6 and ended a three-season downward win trend. The team also benefited from Enhanced Party Time, with Jasmine Washington, Avila Guzman, Randy Dennis, Cannonball Sports, and Sixpack Santiago all receiving stat boosts from partying.

In the Season β7 Election, the Dale won the Closed Circuit blessing with 3% of the vote, which changed each Dale player's blood type to electric and gave the team the Electric modification. The Dale also won The Iffey Jr. blessing with 2% of the vote, and batter Raúl Leal was minimized but given the Fire Protector modification, making every Dale player Fireproof.

Season β8

While not a strong season for the Dale record-wise, the team did see some benefit from their Electric status and, near the end of the season, from the Iffey Jr. On Day 94, a rogue umpire attempted to incinerate Beck Whitney. Due to the Iffey Jr. and Raúl Leal's Fire Protector modification, Whitney was Fireproof, and the umpire was incinerated instead in the first known event of an umpire death. Whitney received an additional half star in all stats after reflecting the umpire's incineration attempt.

The Dale did not win any Blessings in the Season β8 Election.

Season β9

Despite a sub-.500 record throughout much of the season, the Dale remained in playoff contention through Day 97.

The Dale won the New Kid blessing during the Season β9 Election, and a rogue umpire tried to incinerate their least Idolized player, Don Elliott. However, they were protected by Raúl Leal and the Iffey Jr..

The Dale were subjected to the Fifth Base, but protected by the Wild Low Shame Bubble. The Dale also benefitted from the Hellmouth Sunbeams winning the Mutually Arising blessing, which improved the overall rating of each team in the Wild Low division by 2%.

Season β10

During the Season β10 Election, all of Wild Low had their hitting rating improved by 10% and their pitching rating impaired by -5% as a result of the Unlimited Tacos winning the Sharing Signs blessing. Wild Low also gained the Walk in the Park modification after the Hellmouth Sunbeams won Divisional Walk in the Park. The conclusion of Season β10 where THE SHELLED ONE'S PODS were defeated brought Francisca Sasquatch back to the team as a batter. Peanut Bong fell to the Tacos as a pitcher.

Season β11

In the Season β11 elections, the Dale were assigned the Arcana XVII The Star.

Season β12

In the Season β12 elections, the Dale received the Trust and Infuse wills, boosting Logan Horseman's stars and giving Randy Dennis the Flippers modification.

Season β13

Season β13 was the Dale's most successful season in ILB history up to that point. The team finished in the top 50% of the league with a positive record of 55-44. In the Season β13 elections, the Dale received the Foreshadow and Infuse wills, resulting in Liam Snail emerging from the Shadows and Wyatt Owens returning in their place as well as a boost in Rivers Clembons' stars.

The Dale were targeted by the Baltimore Crabs' Exchange will, which sent Logan Horseman to the Crabs and sent back Baldwin Breadwinner.

In the Season β13 Elections, the Dale benefited from all four "Bubble" blessings: Pitching Flotation Bubble, Hitting Flotation Bubble, Defense Flotation Bubble, and Baserunning Flotation Bubble. These blessings boosted all Wild Low players' four primary stats by 4% each.

Season β14

During the Season β14 elections, the Dale sent Baldwin Breadwinner to the Baltimore Crabs, receiving Logan Horseman in exchange, as a result of the Exchange will. Additionally, Beck Whitney was removed from the Dale's roster as a result of the Revoke will.

Season β15

After a recordmaking season, the Dale finished second in the Wild Low Division and third in the entire Wild League. They qualified for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Their milestone success was celebrated throughout the ILB, including with a supportive message from The Ticker. After a bye in the wildcard round, they lost to the Hades Tigers in the Division Series, three games to one.

During the Season β15 elections, the Dale received the Transfuse will, increasing Sixpack Santiago's pitching at the cost of their batting, and the Equivalent Exchange will, trading Cannonball Sports to the San Francisco Lovers for Parker Meng. However, Meng was then stolen by the Baltimore Crabs via the Fringe Benefit blessing. The Dale also won the Living Single blessing, increasing Sixpack Santiago's Overpowerment.

Season β16

Following their landmark success in Season β15, the Dale had what was widely described as a "rebuilding year." They finished at the bottom of the Wild League with a record of 38-61. This granted them a third Will.

During the Season β16 elections, the Dale received the Move will, which moved Rivers Clembons to the lineup, and the Foreshadow will, choosing to bring Nagomi McDaniel forth from the Shadows and have Don Elliott enter them. The Dale also received the Transfuse will, which infused Logan Horseman's batting and outfused their defense.

Season β17

This season saw another surge in success for the Dale, who finished the season second in both the Wild Low Division and the Wild League with a record number of both Wins and Non-Losses. Qualifying for the playoffs at their highest seed historically, they swept the Houston Spies in the Division Series despite suffering a complete roster shuffle due to Reverb on Day 103, which swapped star pitcher Qais Dogwalker into the lineup and moved Rivers Clembons back to the rotation. They were defeated by eventual ILB Champions the LA Unlimited Tacos in the Wild League Championship Series.

During the Season β17 elections, the Dale received the Foreshadow will, choosing to bring Stout Schmitt forth from the Shadows and have Jasmine Washington enter them, and the Move will, which moved Riley Firewall to the Rotation.

Season β18

The Dale set more records in both Wins (61) and Unlosses (60), finishing the regular season second in the Wild Low Division and third in the ILB. After qualifying for the Postseason as the second seed in the Wild League, they lost to the Hades Tigers in the Division Series, three games to one.

During the Season β18 elections, the Dale received the Equivalent Exchange will, choosing to send Randy Dennis to the Canada Moist Talkers for Richmond Harrison, and the Move will, which moved Rivers Clembons back to the lineup.


Team Overview

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

For a more in-depth look at the team, see Miami Dale/History and Miami Dale/Team Culture.

The Miami Dale are a blaseball team based in Miami, Florida. They compete in Internet League Blaseball (ILB) as a member of the Wild Low division. They are known for their party culture and expressing that they play "for the love of the game" whenever someone brings up their performance or record.

The Dale play their home games at Worldwide Field. This stadium is noted for its party-like atmosphere, with prominent DJs and rappers providing live entertainment, and the abundance of mirrored surfaces in its toilets. Worldwide Field is built directly on top of the Miami Beach convention center as part of a plan to elevate the entire city of Miami Beach in preparation for its future as a Venice-like flooded city. The stadium was a big hit, moving the Dale's center of operations closer to its fanbase than its previous stadium in the former Toys "R" Us on US-1 across from Dadeland North Station. Worldwide Field is the site of the PyroDome, a prototype roof that can be safely and repeatedly set on fire (typically when song lyrics call for it).

The Dale share housing on a yacht named La Fiesta which they use to bring the party anywhere they go. In an effort to remain environmentally conscious, the yacht is fully operated through a combination of solar, hydrogen, and hype energy and is propelled forward through the use of the most sophisticated bass boosted speakers on the planet.

Ownership

The Dale are a registered not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization jointly owned by their fans and the greater Miami community. Rather than being the property of an individual or corporate entity, they are instead owned jointly by their ███████████ shareholders. Shares may be purchased via any currency, through bartering, or by saying ¡Dale! No individual consciousness may own more than 4.20% of the total shares. All shareholders receive are voting rights for what pizza we order at 2 a.m., an invitation to the annual Board of Governors Party, and an opportunity to purchase exclusive shareholder-only merchandise such as limited edition koozies designed by former Artist in Residence Farrell Seagull.

Sponsorship

The unofficial partner of the Miami Dale is Kent's Video Swamp. The Dale's support is estimated to have increased Kent's Video Swamp's customer base by 700% (from one customer to eight). While they have not yet garnered the coveted Official KVS Sponsorship, multiple sources within the team report that they expect it to be made official any day now.

  • Hitting Coach: The Dale's hitting coach is superstar Little League coach and Brooklyn Trees lineup player Danny Marinara, formerly of Jersey City. Marinara is believed to be a top-level coach; however, his talents have so far not transferred to most of the Dale lineup, possibly because of his frequent absences.

Fan Culture

For a more in-depth look at Dale fan culture, see Miami Dale/Fan_Culture.

Dale fans are known as la familia. Like the team's players, the fans are less concerned with the team's record than in having a great time together. All fans are shareholders of the team. Dale fans value each other and their team regardless of arbitrary definitions of "success," instead embracing each being's inherent worth. The team's chant, ¡Dale!, is used just as often to remind fellow fans of what's truly important after another season at the bottom of the Wild Low Clubhouse as it is to cheer on the players.
