Who is that masked
wolf/raccoon/fox/coyote/dog? This was today's question
of the day for me.
I spent the day at Long Island
Duck's Citibank Park as Rollie Mutt. The Long Island
Ducks held their mascot day. Richard "Rapid T.
Rabbit" C. invited me, among others to join in
the fun. Richard asked me to write an introduction
to be announced. So I was announced as the following:
"From Suffolk County,
MLA Production's Hawaiian Stylin' Long Island Puppy:
Rollie Mutt"
It was awesome. I plaued my
typical Rollie character. High 5's, pointing at others
hats and mine, blowing kisses, poking noses, having
my nose poked (*HJEP!), dancing with grandparents,
parents and their kids. Autographs were signed, photos
taken, and dying in the heat. If you know me well
enough I like to dump water in my head. IT HELPS!
What I didn't like were three girls pulling on Rollie's
tail and ears. I can feel that because everything
is close to my body. After three times, they ran off.
I went onto the field five
times:
-Kick Ball (always picked last)
-Introduction (they announced our names, and had us
dance to a never ending randition of "YMCA"...I
wanted to DIE!)
-Golf Judging (someone putted kick balls across the
field, and I picked the one that went the farthest)
-Dizzy Bat Race (the person I was encouraging to spin
her head around on the bat fell over and lost)
-Kids Run Around the Bases (I went out to do autographs,
and I got to run on the field)
Lincoln, who went as Pattington
Bear, was the smartest person there. He brought a
fan! The LI Ducks staff were kind enough to let us
use the weight room/batting training area to cool
off and get water to drink, as well as vouchers for
food. One of them even gave me a sports bottle to
use. The guy who plays Quarker Jack (The LI Ducks
mascot) was greatful when he saw Lincoln's fan and
plopped right infront it.
One of the nice staffers, Matt,
had three players sign a baseball for my brother.
I noticed there were lots of balls scattered around
the practice area, so I absconded one and got another
one signed by our group.
