Houston Spies/Season 1

During Season 1 the Houston Spies returned alongside the 23 other teams placed Under Review during the Season β23 Election, with a roster consisting of 10 players from earlier Eras and 4 new ones, they saw a middling return to Blaseball, unable to qualify for the Postseason and placing 10th overall for wins. During the Election, star player Terrell Bradley's Alternate was called as a result of opening the NEW Forbidden Book, and the Team gained Strike One as a result of winning the Strike Zero Blessing.

During Fall Ball, each team received a Scouting Report to assist new Fans in picking their team. The Spies' Scouting Report read as follows:
*Sneaky Postseason operators, the Spies have made the playoffs 11 out of a possible 23 times over the past two Eras. Still, a Spies Championship remains Missing-in-Action. Will they achieve their mission? Intel says: Spies REDACTED!
*The Spies lead the League in home runs, with 3484, over 100 more than the 2nd place Team, the Dallas Steaks.
*Former star Player Fitzgerald Blackburn holds the record for most Home Runs hit during a single Postseason, with 10 blasts in Season 16.
