==Notable Events==
===Sun(Sun)===
After the Repeal Turntables Decree failed to pass, Sun(Sun) was set upon the league thanks to a Grand Bargain made by the Boss. Sun (Sun) caused "All Wins and Unwins to be Squared". In practice this meant that the unwins (-1 wins) became 1 win.
Additionally Sun (Sun) remained visible on the standings page, with a gauge labeled as "pressure" that seemed to rise with every Run, Win, and Incineration in the league. The Sun (Sun) also seemed to gain a large amount of pressure any time a new Sun was added to the league via a decree.
===The Unquiet Dead===
At the start of Season 20, the Monitor noted that they hadn't checked the hall in a bit as they had been kind of busy. They commented on the appearance of the Alaskan Immortals in the Hall under a new "Teams" section, as well the fact that Pudge Nakamoto had simply wandered out of the Hall during the last election due to their modification.
On Day 1 of Season 20, Kennedy Loser, the last remaining player with the modification, was inhabited by a deceased player named Abbott Wright. What was unusual about this was that no one knew who Wright was - they seemed to not be a part of any team's roster or shadows, including the newly discovered Immortals, and did not appear anywhere on the site. Attempts to find them in the game's search failed, and any attempts to pull up their player page while they were at bat also failed. Shorty afterwards Loser was inhabited by Alford Pliskin, who had all of the same mysteries, and over the course of the season Loser picked up a number of inexplicable haunts, nicknamed "Kennedy Loser's New Guys" or KLoNGs for short. 
===The Depth Chart===
See the main article on Levels.
At the Season 20 Earsiesta the Boss confirmed the suspension of the Seasonal Readings, and the Reader replied with go long and unveiling a new Depth tab on the site. 
The new Depth Chart was was a way for teams to visualize where they fell along the league's levels. The Y axis of the grid represented a team's level in relation to the League, while the x axis represented an unknown variable. The chart was split across the middle with a line resembling the MVP line seen on the Idol Board, and teams moved closer to the Desert or Gate as their Credit Rating changed. 
The top of the chart featured what seemed to be a desert with a number of cacti, while the bottom of the chart featured a number of clouds as well as the Gate that was seen on Blaseball 2. Noticing the connection to Blaseball 2, some fans checked to see if anything could be found at Blaseball 0, but found a plain white page with a single cactus emoji. (🌵)
While most teams bobbed around the center of the chart, the coming election featured a number of with the potential to impact a team's eDensity including Shots in the Dark, Couldn't Hurt, Heavy-Handed, Light-Handed, Strange Attractor, Backup or Down, Complete 180, Heads over Tails, and Low Five. 
===The Fifth Base===
See the main article on Fifth Base (Item).
During the , Jesús Koch received the Legendary Super Roamin' Fifth Base from the blessing of the same name, becoming Super Roamin' and roaming to a new team every 9 days.
On Day 38 the Fifth Base was placed down for the first time in The Oven and fans discovered the intricacies of the Legendary Item. A baserunner holding the The Fifth Base had a small chance of placing and stealing to the Fifth Base in the ballpark they were playing in, giving the ballpark modification and removing the item from the player. If a baserunner was standing on the placed Fifth Base, they had a small chance of stealing the base, giving them the item and removing the modification from the ballpark. 
The Base changed hands several times over the course of the season, and a full list of it's travels is available here. 
===Underhanded===
As the season progressed, the effects of the gaining the modification from the previous election began to become apparent as Michelle Sportsman became the first player to achieve a negative ERA, ending the season winning 28 of her 32 games.
This was only the start of what was to come, as in the Giftshop that season teams were able to purchase an Underhanded cap, which resulted in a total of 17 pitchers across the league making use of the Underhanded modification, contributing to the league average ERA dropping form 4.5 to 4.1 between and .
===The Underbracket===
With the passing of the Under Bracket in the Season 19 Elections, losing teams were now able to compete in a losers tournament, with the goal to lose enough games to un-lose the Underbracket. Underbracket wins netted the team a Championship win for their team, though it was unclear if these would be counted towards Evolution. 
The winners of the inaugural Underbracket were the San Francisco Lovers.
===The Investigation Concludes===
See the main article on the Investigation.
After the election in Season 20, it was declared that the Investigation led by Liquid Friend and Uncle Plasma had concluded. According to the Boss their hard work showed no foul play, and we could put all that behind Us. She then bid them to enjoy their retirement as the pair were preserved and placed in the Vault, gaining the modifier, as well as a message that they were "Stronger Together" as they both gained the modifier.
===Notable Election Results===
During the elections, the Sun 30 decree was passed, which resulted in future games awarding both Teams a Win if the game enters Extra Innings. The setting of Sun 30 caused the Sun(Sun)'s Pressure to increase to 35.41%. 
The Reform will was used on a number of Players, most notably rerolling Paula Turnip's into and Silvaire Roadhouse's into .
As a result of the Magnify will, Dudley Mueller, Phineas Wormthrice, Caleb Novak, and Malik Destiny were granted Magnification.
