The Sky Carp

 

Yesterday, we took Justin to see a Class A minor league baseball game featuring the Beloit Sky Carp vs. the Cedar Rapids Kernels.  

 

Our original tickets were postponed due to the team having a Covid outbreak.  Our makeup game was then postponed due to the Julia and I having a Covid outbreak.  Last night, we got to see baseball.

 

I think the highlight of the game for Justin was his wild game sausage basket, which supposedly had bison, wild boar and kobe beef.  He thought it was good but tasted a lot like pork, which would have been considerably less expensive but it was a splurge spend night.

 Most people have heard of Corn Kernels, which kinda makes sense with the team from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  But what the heck is a Sky Carp?  Well, it turns out that a sky carp is a goose that doesn't fly south for the winter.  Wut?  Yeah, that's what they say.  The team's mascot runs around doing the stadium  performing pelvic thrust dance moves, like a bad Elvis imitation.  Bad Goose!
