Last home game of the season

Final home game · 54°F · 1 proposal · season over

A baseball mascot’s diary from the last home game of the season: a proposal on the big screen, the corn song, and a foam costume that smells of October.

Your job sucks? Good. Well, not good. But tell us.

The shift, the boss, the customer. Five minutes, under a pen name, and nobody at work ever knows.
