The life of a minor league mascot is not glorious.
For instance, you are sometimes forced to ride an ATV around the outfield at speeds that are way too high for someone wearing a fuzzy suit with a head the size of a satellite dish.
That's what happened to Rip Tide, the big blue mascot of the Norfolk Tides, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. The big guy was ripping around the warning track on an ATV, when he lost control and spun out in an attempt to stop.
He stopped all right, as Rip Tide's big, goofy head got acquainted with the warning track. Luckily, no one was hurt, which gives us all permission to point and laugh.
