Stalker's Pub

We made it to Pennsylvania in time to catch a Blue Rocks baseball game before the season ended. The Blue Rocks have been busy upgrading the stadium.Heck, they even have a gluten-free menu now, which includes a beer. I really got a kick out of the Stalker's Pub!

According to one rumor, Mr. Celery was born when the Blue Rocks purchased some costumes of vegetables. They never used them so they sold them off, but the buyer did not want the celery costume. Along came an intern who decided to run out onto the field in the celery costume and fans were converted! There was a dedicated group of fans for a while who ate celery at the game and traveled to see the away games. You can still buy celery snacks. I'm in love with Mr. Celery's nerdy passion for the game - he only comes out when they get a run and he can't contain his joy!

I'm in love with the new blue too. It's such an airy, open blue. So of course I encouraged Rich to purchase at least one Blue Rocks polo shirt in the official blue. It was fun to hear the noises and smell the smells of the ballbark. Especially fun is watching the kids run around and run up to the various costumed characters, including the hot dog and Rocky Bluewinkle himself.
