Ricky “Rocket” Ramirez Age: 27 Height: 6’1” Position: Center Field / Utility Player Bats: Right Throws: Right Team: Party Animals Number: 7 Appearance Ricky is built like exactly what he is: a professional athlete. Years of training have left him lean, quick, and deceptively strong, with the kind of effortless athleticism that makes difficult plays look routine. He has dark brown hair that is perpetually one gust of wind away from becoming a problem and warm brown eyes that are almost always giving away exactly what he’s thinking. His smile arrives easily and disappears just as quickly whenever a game becomes competitive. The Party Animals have repeatedly encouraged him to adopt a more dramatic look. The mustache lasted three weeks. The dyed hair lasted two. The cowboy phase remains a source of embarrassment. These days he mostly sticks to being himself. Unfortunately, that’s still enough to attract attention. Personality Ricky is outgoing without being overwhelming, friendly without being fake, and competitive enough that his teammates occasionally have to remind him that Banana Ball is supposed to be fun. He genuinely loves making people laugh, but unlike some performers, he doesn’t seek out the spotlight. Most of his funniest moments happen because he’s reacting to something absurd rather than creating it himself. He has a tendency to say exactly what he’s thinking, which is responsible for roughly half of his popularity and three-quarters of his problems. Though he thrives in front of a crowd, he’s surprisingly normal one-on-one. Fans expecting a larger-than-life showman are often caught off guard by how easy he is to talk to. He’s the first person to volunteer for community events, charity appearances, youth clinics, and autograph sessions, often staying long after he’s supposed to leave. His teammates describe him as loyal, stubborn, competitive, and incapable of minding his own business when someone needs help. Background Ricky grew up in San Antonio, Texas, the oldest of three siblings and the son of a high school baseball coach. Baseball was never really a choice. It was simply part of life. He played year-round as a kid, excelled throughout high school, and earned a scholarship to play college ball. While talented enough to pursue traditional professional opportunities, he quickly realized he loved the atmosphere around the game just as much as the game itself. The first time he attended a Banana Ball exhibition, everything clicked. The crowds were louder. The players were having fun. The fans were part of the experience. For the first time, baseball felt less like a job and more like a celebration. A few years later he earned a roster spot with the Party Animals and never looked back. On the Field Ricky’s greatest strength is his speed. He covers an absurd amount of ground in center field and has developed a reputation for catches that look impossible until he somehow comes down with the ball. At the plate he’s aggressive, confident, and occasionally far too willing to swing at pitches he probably shouldn’t. His coaches call it instinct. His teammates call it lack of impulse control. Both are probably correct. Despite the theatrics surrounding Banana Ball, Ricky takes the game itself seriously. He studies opponents, reviews footage, and hates losing with an intensity that often surprises people. Fun Facts Has an irrational fear of geese. Owns more jackets than any reasonable person. Once ate forty-two chicken wings in a single sitting. Claims he can solve any problem with sufficient snacks. Is banned from choosing road trip playlists after an incident involving six consecutive hours of early-2000s boy bands. Signs every baseball he gives away with a different message. * Has never successfully won an argument with a mascot. Reputation To fans, Ricky is one of the faces of the Party Animals. To children, he’s a superhero. To opposing teams, he’s a menace. To his teammates, he’s the guy most likely to accidentally become involved in a stadium-wide bit and somehow come out looking charming afterward. Much to his annoyance.
