We picked on the fine folks in Altoona, Pa., last week with our Silly Photo to Fill Space entry (with a picture of a gas station attendant), so this week we couldn't resist poking fun at them again_ even though I have nothing but love and admiration for the folks in Blair County!
The city's minor league baseball team The Altoona Curve has one of the more interesting mascots around.
Steamer (pictured here) made his first appearance in 1999. According to the Curve web site, the mascot's favorite tv shows are "Thomas the Train Engine" and "Bob the Builder."
His hobbies include four-wheeling, riding roller-coasters and signing autographs for the kids (awwww!).
The Curve lost to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats on the road Sunday by a 5-4 count.
Tonight, they hope to get revenge when they host the Harrisburg Senators from the Pennsylvania state capital at 7 p.m.
We would be there, but Altoona is like a seven-hour drive from here in Durham, NC (not really where I am at, but that town has its own famous minor league team The Durham Bulls) and the game starts in like an hour and a half!
