The first mascot they had was named Skully. In fact my Dad worked with the guy that named Skully. Tampa Bay had a draw for fans and he won the privelage of naming the mascot. The new one is Captain Fear, a caricature of a pirate. Huge Bucs fan. Been reading and watching about them my whole life.

Cork Ball, as it was played in the southend of Columbus, Oh. after WWll consisted of simply a fishing cork and a cutoff broomstick handle. The cork was normally wrapped in in any electrical tape we could scrounge from our parents. Our game consisted of 3 strikes and you were out of the inning. We used street curbs on each side of the street plus and other areas between the sidewalks on each side to mark our singels, doubles, etc. The uniqueness of our game the way the cork was pitched.It was gripped between the thumb and the index and middle fingers and released underhanded. Depending on the angle of release, the cork would dive, drop, curve(dramatically) or rise in and out. The batter never knew what was coming. The cork ball pitcher's motion was similar to a fastpitch softball pitcher. In the seventies and eighties I taught my sons the game. Now the grandsons are learning. One thing about this game; You need good eyes! Old timers like me need not apply.

How much time off do major league baseball players get?
My name is Cito Culver I am currently playing the the New York Yankees system in their lower A team The Riverdogs. A typical day for most players for a home game with the game at 7:00pm is the following. Wake up around 10:30-11:00am depending on how long last nights game was. I like to eat breakfast after I get up which most of the time is eggs, bacon, some toast and a protein shake. We play almost a game a day so we need to make sure are body's have the right. It's now around 12:00 and i either hang out touch base with family and friends or do everyday things. Such as if we have a long home stand I will need to buy groceries. Around 2:00 I'll head of to the park. The training room opens at 2:00 so player start to arrive anytime after that. When I get their is around 2:30 and I change into some workout clothes and get a workout in before the game. Nothing to big because I want to be 100% for the game. But we need to make sure we stay in shape. The manager usally has dress by 4:00pm so and around 4:05 positions players stertch and early throw. The home team usally take BP around 4:20 to 5:20 and during BP we also take in field. After that we go back into the clubhouse and their is a light dinner waiting for us such as chicken, sandwiches, wraps, salad that type of stuff. Sometimes if we are lucky are club house manager will have a smoothie bar which is awesome on the really hot days. Most people don't realize but in the minors all that stuff is not free we all have to pay $13 a day for clubhouse dues and that cover food, washing service and other basic stuff. We then just chill out till game time most guys get any work done they need from the trainer or just hang out listen to music, watch tv, make calls and some that aren't playing that day work out. Around 6:40 the starting players go out and just throw then at around the 7ish they do the national anthem and at 7:05 PLAY BALL!! After the game most guys shower and eat dinner which most the time is a BBQ or pasta Italian dish. Some of the guys like to go out of anywhere is open. Day games are nice because they end just in time to go out to a nice dinner. At that time I go home watch some TV go to bed then do it all over again the next day.
