We all know that I love baseball and everything surrounding it...the smell of the fresh cut grass, the sound of the ball popping into the catcher's mitt, those Pronto Pups, and, of course, the terrible in-game entertainment. The Famous Chicken is a huge part of this for me. I found him to be the most hilarious mascot in existence when I was around age 5 and he came to a Memphis Chicks game. Now, with the news that he may retire, I'm a bit saddened. It's like a bit of Americana (and my childhood) won't be around any more. Sad day.
In case you're not familiar with him, here's a clip to give you a little taste.

I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. -Thomas Paine
