If that is what enjoying possum seems to be like, it is not going to idiot anyone.
Showing very a lot alive, the mascot of the Minor League Arkansas Vacationers — a swamp possum who goes by the identify Otey — basked within the Saturday night time lights of Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas, as Texas Tech hosted UCF in school football motion.
Otey, who appeared to completely take pleasure in waving the Purple Raiders’ flag whereas cheering and dancing in entrance of an exuberant crowd, was following within the literal and figurative footsteps of a fellow possum who interrupted play throughout Texas’ Tech’s Nov. 3 sport towards TCU.
The Arkansas membership represents the Mariners within the Double-A Texas League. Otey, appearing on the spirit of the Vacationers’ moniker, made his approach some 560 miles west-southwest from North Little Rock’s Dickey-Stephens Park to hold on the Texas Tech marsupial custom established three weeks in the past.
Baseball followers — particularly Minor League followers — know somewhat one thing about possum delays, with Brett Phillips’ heroic habits throughout not one, however two such unscheduled intermissions already a part of MiLB lore.
Repeat appearances by furry, stout-bodied mammalia are, in actual fact, a well-documented phenomenon within the Minors. Only a couple months in the past, the Harrisburg Senators (Double-A affiliate of the Nationals) and Bowie Baysox (Orioles) endured a skunk delay for the second time this season.
However not like the Nov. 3 possum look in Lubbock or the skunk appearances in Pennsylvania, Otey’s shenanigans on Saturday had been relegated to the realm of sidelines leisure. Named for Little Rock baseball legend R.C. Otey, the Travs’ Otey little question respects the sport — each video games, apparently — an excessive amount of to trigger a delay within the motion.
