So the other day I got a chance to go a baseball game. Not a major league game but a minor league game. You can google up the differences personally outside of stadium and amount of enthusiasm from the fans there really wasn't much of a difference to me.
Anyway sitting there in the blazing sun, watching the Brockton Rox,seeing the "cheerleaders" dance their uncoordinated dance steps and watching the local fans not sheering as much just ordering food and what not. I came to feel a nostalgic feeling from when I was very young and my aunt Cielo taking me to a local game in Puerto Rico. Although the fans here seemed very lame, not enthusiastic about the game, like I said the beer next to their kids seemed more enjoyable than the time they were having with their kids. Looking at the mascot made me think of how lame that kind of job is, to get in a hot suit and get people riled on a hot sunny day, sweat running down every nook and cranny of your body,. Making a fool of yourself in front of both adults and children, hoping they will laugh and not throw things at you.Do Mascots get together and vent, do they get together to talk and hang out? Was there ever a "Glory Days" for these guys in a suit or has it always been lame? I can just picture one the guys iwho plays as a mascot, going to a bar after the game taking a girl home for the night taking her to his "penthouse" which in reality is just a trailer or some hotel room hmph if this was on the Simpsons this somehow would be funny but I cant imagine living that life seems like a joke...but I can't crap on his life just be amused by it at the end of the day he's just trying to make another buck just like the rest of us.
