The Greenville Drive beat the Greensboro Grasshopper 8-4. It was sad to
watch the home team lose, but it was a great game with lots of exciting
moments. The night we were there was Eighties Music Night AND
Fireworks Night, which meant a dramatic presentation to a soundtrack
that included several Huey Lewis and the News tracks. Jane declared
Guilford the Grasshopper the best mascot we had seen and I had to agree.
He was accommodating to grown ups who like ball park
mascots, flirtatious with the fans without being creepy, and
businesslike about fan encounters without seeming jaded. If you can say
that about a person in a giant grasshopper suit.
