Homer the Polecat

Browsing around minorleaguebaseball.com, I came across this mascots page, on which I found the coolest guy: Homer the Polecat, from the Huntsville Stars.
Homer the Polecat (skunk) was born in 1995 after skunks were seen coming out from behind the outfield wall and running past the outfielders. The players are very grateful to have Homer close by instead of the skunks that preceeded him!! Homer resides behind the center field wall and loves to participate in his favorite promotion, the BASE RACE. Unfortunately, Homer is 0-585 against the fans here at Joe Davis Stadium in the nightly run around the bases.
I love the minors. :)
