What does “the 32nd” refer to?

I’ve been playing Outer Worlds and while in Edgewater, I did a quest for Vicar Max and he began to make a case for why I should allow him to join my ship crew. One of his arguments was that he used to be “quite the 32nd”

and left many an opponent bleeding in the field.

My friend and I have tried searching what this could possibly mean, but googling “what does 32nd mean” just gives me results explaining that 32nd describes the 32nd item in a sequence.

Does anyone know what Vicar Max’s statement is in reference to?

Solution 1:

Essentially, it reveals that tossball teams have at least 32 players per team. It also implies that its more than just a player count, but rather than "the 32nd" entails a particular function in the game (similar to "quarterback" or "keeper").

So far, I haven't come across any specifics on tossball, other than the stick looking like a lacrosse stick.
