Play Ball! - finally more fun in Delaware


We really do need to get out of the museum more. Tonight was the long-anticipated grad student outing to see the local Single A minor league baseball team, the Wilmington Blue Rocks. No, their mascot is not a boulder. It's actually a moose named Rocky Bluewinkle. BUT there is also a supplementary mascot named....wait for it .....Mr. Celery.

That's right, a guy in a celery costume comes out and dances when the Blue Rocks score. The 2nd year class first told me of this phenomenon over a year ago, and it did not disappoint.

Add Mr. Celery to cotton candy, $2 hotdogs, fireworks, and a bizarre Village People tribute involving a man connected to 4 marionnette mannequins, and you have a fun evening out where museum objects were only mentioned twice.
