Minor league masks

We're heading to Spokane's minor league baseball game tonight (pardon me if I'm getting the lingo wrong--is it semi-pro? Is there a difference? Will there be warm peanuts and hot dogs? That's all I really care about). 

The girls wanted to look up pictures of the team's mascot online to gauge how nervous they should be--they have a bit of a mascot phobia.

But after seeing pictures of Otto the blue dog (I believe that's what he's supposed to be, but I'm open to your interpretation), they determined they had nothing to fear. Wouldn't you agree?

They also decided they wanted to give Otto a run for his money, so they made their own Otto masks to wear to the game.

 

Game on, Otto. Game on.

It's the recycle man they should be scared of! He's a crazy lookin dud with long 80's glam rock hair.
Hope you had fun.

LOL, Mariah! They loved him! Magpie wouldn't get close, but she liked him from a distance. Bo actually approached him before Otto. And, oh my, the laughter from those girls when they saw him dancing each time the team scored. It could have ended a war.

Joey loves Otto. A couple years ago, she tripped on the stairs in the stadium in front of a bunch of people. Not hurt too badly; just a skinned knee. Shortly, Otto presented himself and gave her an Indians baseball. She still has it.

I am Otto at the Spokane Indians Baseball, and saw your post sorry it took me so long too find it. I am a Spokaneasorus, Sort of a mythical dinasaour. I remember your daughter skinning her knee, and truefully I do remember bringing her a baseball. I hope you come back to the games again and come by to see me! Hopefully this time i won't be so scary to them. Thank you for coming to see me and hope to see you again!
