Major league mascots haven’t got essentially the most comfortable of jobs — are you able to think about trudging round a stadium each day in a heavy, scorching costume? It’s a bit extra uncomfortable for the mascots when followers get somewhat too wild and begin grabbing them by the neck.
This is what happened to Raymond, the Tampa Bay Rays mascot, throughout Tuesday night’s sport towards the Boston Red Sox. I know what you’re considering: “Certainly no hometown fan would attempt to choke his own mascot.” Right. It was a Pink Sox fan from the Boston suburb of Needham, who made tormenting a furry mascot part of his roadtrip. The Tampa Bay Times has more:
Trevor James Martin, who lives in a Boston suburb, was ingesting beer as the Rays performed the Boston Red Sox at Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg police said.
Martin, 27, reached throughout the stadium’s railing and twice grabbed Raymond by the neck, officers said. Martin was staggering, slurring his words and smelled of alcohol, according to an arrest affidavit. Raymond pushed back and broke free, police said.
Martin, who instructed officers he drank two beers in the course of the recreation, faces a misdemeanor charge of disorderly intoxication. The “sufferer within the mascot go well with” declined to press battery costs, police said. Martin was released from Pinellas County Jail early Wednesday on $a hundred bail.
A little little bit of Googling will show you that there’s a Trevor James Martin who lives within the Boston area and has worked as a production assistant on movies corresponding to “Pain & Acquire” and “The Fighter.” You’ll think he understands the plight of costumed entertainers.
