Ordained by Hammer after failing in his attempt to set a new beer consumption record, forgetting to run out a ground ball leading to a double play, and becoming thoroughly inebriated and unresponsive

Pope Rooster IV “The Berserker”
Coronated on the Sixteenth of January the Year Two Thousand and Twenty One
Ordained by Hammer for reaching record levels of drunken stupidity, by diving into bramble while naked and barefoot in a vain attempt to make a catch.

Pope Student I “The Ignominious”
Coronated on the Sixteenth of January the Year Two Thousand and Twenty Two
Ordained by Hammer for reaching heretofore unseen levels of drunkenness, arguing (as the batter) with the pitcher that he should be pitching, and committing two beer fouls in a single inning.

So drunk he was convinced that he should be on the mound instead of in the batter’s box.

Pope Rooster V “The Pocket”
Coronated on the Second of April the Year Two Thousand and Twenty Two
Ordained by Hammer for becoming so drunk that he committed a beer foul, then lost the beercone, searched for it for over five minutes before realizing it had been in his pocket the entire time.

It took him five minutes to find the ball in his pocket.
