S9 Day 70 - The Walk-Off Shadow Strobe
In the bottom of the 9th inning, a Repeating Benitez used their Shadow Strobe Yes Jutsu to win the game before a peanut-weakened Kennedy Cena could come to the plate. Amid a series of strobe flashes, multiple copies of Benitez reached base safely, taking photos of each other vogueing in celebration. The third copy grounded into a fielder's choice of shame, scoring the lead Benitez from third base. The Shoe Thieves tried to appeal to the umps, but Benitez yelled "Believe it!" and slammed the photographic evidence down on home plate.

- I'd like propose that the sentence "Prior to their plate appearance, Yeong-Ho was heard saying "forgive me, Master, I must go all out, just this once." go in here somewhere.

I'll work in a "fans recall hearing..." and maybe change Master to 'Hinkie' to fit it in with larger Pies lore." -mcgetting
Incineration and ARG
On Day 13 of Season 10, Eduardo Woodman was playing in the outfield when a hysterical Benitez ran up to them. “I found it Ed, it all makes sense!” Woodman recalled Benitez saying. “We’re gonna crush ‘em in half! The five bases are the key! It’s the key!” Yeong-Ho pressed a canister of undeveloped film into Woodman’s hand and ran towards the dugout. Before Benitez could make it to cover they were incinerated by a rogue umpire.
The roll of film turned out to be the first clue in an elaborate alternate reality game (ARG) that Benitez created in case of their death. At first glance the photos in the roll appeared to just be pictures of the Pies players training. However, when the photo’s timestamps were lined up, converted to hexadecimal, run through a Caesar cipher, and read backwards, it revealed the clue “S2E173812” and a message from Benitez claiming that game-changing information awaited in their darkroom, the location of which can only be uncovered by solving their clues.
S2E173812 lead the Pies players to check Episode 17 of season 2 of My Roomie Ruslan (A Rosy Ruslan Christmas). 38 minutes and 12 seconds into the episode Benitez can be heard coughing. By slowing down and phase shifting the cough audio the team could make out the phrase: “Mark it down that I like a dozen daisies under the arch.”
After three nights of brainstorming and several cases of Sir Veza beers, Bright Zimmerman realized that the clue was pointing them to Reading Terminal Market, located at 12th and Arch street. By counting the number of petals on each daisy in the market, running those numbers through a Ukranian algebraic formula, translating from Greek, and subtracting five the players got the clue “the-yay ungus-fay ides-hay the-yay anary-cay.”
Currently the Pies are stuck on this clue. During weekends they often gather together to swap ideas about what it could mean. Despite this Pies GM Sam Hinkie is confident that the team will eventually solve the puzzle. “It will all make sense in time,” he said. “Yeong-ho always came through when we needed them.”
