1. Bhaakon Posted: January 23, 2010 at 07:44 AM (#3444804)They offered a lot of weird and useless majors at my school, but I don't remember any degrees in costumed cavorting.
What, no journalism major?
Christ, another sub-300 OBP guy. Moore sure is consistent.
That's an awfully big costume. A friend of mine got roped into playing a festival mascot when she was teaching in Japan and that costume had a top limit of 158cm. Supposedly that's also the height limit of the Mickey Mouse mascot suits at the Disney parks.
However, Rick Ankiel is just over the minimum for this job! The only thing he doesn't have is the professional mascot experience, but perhaps his time with the Cards as an outfielder counts.
and i'm 5'11.5"
High Schools. Colleges.
Yes.
And yes, he did have a college degree, although more importantly, he was the school mascot in college.
