This morning I had the pleasure of attending the Mascot Musical Chairs contest and Pizza Party at the Franciscan Hospital for Children.  MIKE-FM is going to be having a radio-thon for the hospital this Friday 12/19 between 6AM-8PM so make sure to listen and donate…these kids really need you!!

When I arrived, I had asked who was going to be there.  I was told Mascots from The Red Sox, BC Eagles, Boston Cannons and The Lowell Devils would be in attendance.  So the contest starts and there is this Ram type looking mascot there that nobody seems to know about.  Usually Mascots have the team shirt on, the name on them somewhere etc.  This just was a Ram with some dental issues that went by the name Ramsey.

Don’t get me wrong…I am glad he showed up.  The more the merrier and the kids had a blast!  I just thought it was funny that a Mascot got word of this event somehow in like a Mascot newsletter or something and decided to just show up to join the fun!  You have to give Ramsey some respect…he marches to the beat of his/her own drum and was not going to be left out of this great event!  Oh, and as it turns out, Ramsey was from Suffolk University.

On a side note…I am a HUGE Boston College fan and asked the BC Eagle if I could have his Bowl tickets so I could see BC play on 12/31.  I mean, he is the mascot so he doesn’t need his tickets, right?  He will be busy on the field running around with the BC flag and helping to get the crowd excited.  Well, he didn’t hook me up like a good Eagle should so I guess I am going to be watching it on ESPN like everyone else!  That’s ok though because he was nice enough to come to our party today and support the Franciscan Hospital.  For more information on our radio-thon this Friday, click here.
