Sideline Clucker

From Dwight Perry’s Sideline Chatter:

Bromley Lowe, a former Baltimore Orioles mascot, is one old Bird who was only too happy to fly.

Sweltering summer days in a costume made of synthetic feathers, foam and fiberglass will do that to a guy.

“Parades are the worst,” Lowe told USA Today. “I was in a Fourth of July parade in Laurel, Md., in 1995, and it felt like it would never end. I was treated in an ambulance. They hooked me up to an IV.

“I think the San Diego Chicken put it best: ‘If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the chicken.'”
