That Lovable Losing Bull Moose
The continued futility of Teddy Roosevelt to ever win one of the presidential mascot races at RFK Stadium has been well documented, but no one has ever thought to ask Teddy what he thinks of all the trouble he has been having.

For the second time in less than a week, the man who worked part-time as Grump, the mascot for the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Red Barons, has been arrested for doing naughty things with someone who is not old enough to do naughty things. From The Citizens Voice:...
