==Biography==
===Physical Attributes===
While many of his team and league mates can boast exotic names and mystical/mythological origins, Thomas "Tom" Kirby is a perfectly fine if slightly pedestrian cishet white male. 
Thomas Kirby is 5'9" in height, and his weight is self-reported as "having maybe gotten a little soft around the middle, but that's not unusual when you start getting a little older and slow down a bit". 
His appearance has been described as looking "very familiar", "almost exactly like someone [you] went to school with", and "sort of like that guy from a movie a few years back". 
Kind of like if Boruto's dad was Boruto? Like imagine an old, kinda schlubby Boruto. But not quite? We love him anyway. 
===Personal Life===
Unlike former teammate Sebastian Telephone, who was spawned fully-formed from a payphone, Kirby was born from an unremarkable pregnancy between Jeffrey "Jeff" Kirby and Judtih "Judy" Kirby. Judy described the conception and pregnancy as "average."
Kirby drives a midsize pickup truck. In interviews, he describes it as "just enough to get the job done". He is always happy to help a teammate move to a new residence or transport a piece of bulky furniture home. 
Kirby and his family live in a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath ranch-style home in Chicago, where he has always been from. He and his wife Amanda have one son and one daughter. The family has one dog, a retriever mix, and one cat, a shorthair. 
===Professional Life===
Kirby eschews any sort of value judgments or criticisms of his more extraordinary league mates. He treats all Blaseball players, friend or foe, with a polite respect. He does admit, however, that he can't help but respect and appreciate a good, firm handshake. He has gone to seven Phish concerts in his lifetime. This was a business expense.
Whatever a teammate's race, orientation, identity, or creed... Kirby's only demand is that they make sure to set their retirement account contributions to ensure employer matching is maxed out. It isn't a matter of judgment, just a matter of prudence. 
Kirby received a mixed welcome upon his transfer to the Chicago Firefighters. Some Firefighters were glad to meet him, others missed Paula Mason and wished to trade him back. After hitting a three-run home run in the post-season match with the Millennials (the only runs the Firefighters would achieve in that match), however, Kirby became a fan favorite.
