Mascot Mayhem

Mama didn't raise no Big Fool. So rather than get my photos with sports mascots, I'm going after coprporate mascots.

Here I am with the Gorton's Fisherman. The Gorton's Fisherman has a special place in my heart because when Emily and I went to the mascot baseball game before the start of a Twins game a few years back, the Gorton's Fisherman caught a ball using his net. Well played.



The other guy with me is a friend from high school who had the job two weekends ago of setting up the Gorton's mascot event at H.E.B. grocery stores throughout south San Antonio.

The idea was for kids to get their picture with Gorton's Fisherman. And that makes sense. I mean who better to send your kid to see than a sailor? Kids love the crazy antics of hard drinking womanizers who can curse a blue streak strong enough to make Andrew Dice Clay turn red!

The close observer will note the Gorton's Fisherman made out of Legos at the bottom left-hand corner of the picture. A professional Lego artist was hired to build that. It's a crazy world.
