[Intro, Ominous Overture, Dim Spotlight]
Ahhh yes...
You’ve wandered in too deep.
No scouts. No grit. Just code and creeping truth...
Now meet the architects.

[Verse 1, Slithering Strings, Minor Key Shuffle]
Welcome to Fan Graphs, abandon your lore,
Where numbers rule kingdoms and myths rot on the floor.
We don't cheer the crack of the bat, oh no—
We cheer when the BABIP starts trending low.

[Pre-Chorus, Dramatic Pause, Staccato Brass]
You liked your stars loud, and your stats nice and neat,
But under our models, your idols face... defeat.
We’re the dungeon of data, where heroes expire—
Replaced by a spreadsheet, a curve, or a fire.

[Chorus, Grand and Menacing, Full Orchestra Swell]
Welcome to Fan Graphs! The villainous hall!
Where W.R.C. Plus rises... and legends fall.
Spin rates! Plate discipline! Darkness refined!
We're sabermetric sorcerers, reprogramming minds.

[Verse 2, Menacing Swagger, Introductions Begin]
Ah, yes, and now… the cabal.

[Spotlight Shift, One by One – Orchestra Crescendo Builds]

[Male Lead]
David Appleman—He forged the machine.
Gave power to data, made scouting obscene.
Behind every stat, a whisper of fate—
His algorithms decide who we elevate.

Jay Jaffy, historian of worth—
Guarding the gates of the Hall of Fame's birth.
With JAWS as his gavel, he measures your fame—
No plaque on the wall if you can’t clear the frame.

Dan Szymborski, ah yes, the prophet of ZIPS—
Feasts on your fortunes, blood drips down his lips,
He charts your collapse before Opening Day—
"Breakout potential?" He says, "Not today."

Eric Longenhagen, the scout turned seer—
He sees through the hype and harvests your fear.
Prospects you love? He ranks them cold—
Future All-Stars? He'll say if they're gold.

Ben Clemens, with spreadsheets so pure,
Slicing through narratives fans can’t endure.
“Hot streak?” he laughs—“Variance, friend.”
The man sees a slump before it begins.

Michael Baumann, with chaos in tow—
A poet of panic in fastball glow.
From Philly despair to October’s sting,
Clever pun-based headlines clip every wing.

Meg Rau-ley, the queen of dry wit,
Writes your eulogy… with a WAR-based split.
Elegant, ruthless, with charts in her scroll—
She’ll unmake your heroes with editorial control.

[Bridge, Wickedly Theatrical, Rising Power]
You thought this was baseball? You fool, it’s a maze—
Of shifting projections and fastball decay.
We do not cheer. We take all your beer.
Then watch as your faith is consumed by your fear.

[Final Chorus, Wickedly Triumphant, Full Orchestra, Evil Laugh Underscore]
Welcome to Fan Graphs! The skeptics’ domain!
We bleed out the drama and siphon the fame.
No fairy tale arcs, no comeback design—
Just a cold Monte Carlo… and your hopes in decline.

[Outro, Sinister Whisper, One Last Spotlight]
So thank you for browsing, for giving a damn.
We’re always updating… your personal scam.
Your favorites are dust, the the math made it clear…
And FanGraphs will always be here...

[End, Final Minor Chord Hold, Curtain Drop]
