First of all, I have worked in baseball and fly overs do not come from tax payers. Those come from the hard earned money that the organization has earned and rightfully so by the Tulsa Drillers. Those are not easy to come by, especially for a minor league team.
Second of all, the Tulsa Drillers is the BEST Double A team I have seen when it comes to game entertainment. Their job is to provide entertainment for the fans between innings. They are there to boost the overall game day experience for each fan. There are many different parts to this. One is the on field promotions. This is headed by your so called "Trip Hop Low Pants." His job is to be energetic about the promotions and get the crowd into the games. He does this as good as any of them in the game. Not every person has the ability to do what he does and as good as he does it for the Drillers. Another part of the game day experience is the mascot, which brings me to my third point:
The mascot's job is to get kids involved and excited about the game. Hornsby does this as good as any other baseball mascot I have seen, and even better in my opinion. I was at this game on May 23rd. This so happened to be a game where there had to be roughly 400 kids from school groups alone. There is no way that one single mascot can meet all the kids in the park. He hears tons of screaming kids yelling his name EVERY game. He can't personally say hello to each every game. That day was a warm day, and was sprinkling at the beginning of the game. A little bit of water coming from his squirt gun isn't much different than rain water that fell on you. If anything, probably cleaner! Like bourbon Tulsa said, lighten up, it was water.
Finally, just because of a water incident is in no way a reason why the person playing Hornsby should be fired. I've got a feeling that he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet if you were to sit down with him one day. He does a fantastic job for the Tulsa Drillers. It would hurt the organization too much to loose a guy like him and what he does for them. Don't be calling for some one to be fired. How would you like if some one did that to you? It's the organization's responsibility. They know what's right for them, and if they say they can't afford to fire him then they are right. They know they have one of the best ones out there and they don't want to loose him!
The Tulsa Drillers is a place for kids and adults alike to come enjoy the game of baseball and to be entertained while they do so. They are the best out there for Double A. From management down to game day. If you don't think so, go to some other double A games. You will see that I am right.
