Ex-Mascot Sues Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees

The suit was filed Wednesday in federal court in Scranton. In it Bonner claims he could work more than 80 hours a week in a job that paid about $22,000 per year.

So many questions. Why would a mascot have to work that much? Especially for a minor league baseball team? I know Clemens had a start there a few summers back, but this is Scranton, PA. They can’t even support a small paper company. And how long can you go on working 80-hour weeks without saying, “Screw this. Give me more money?” I guess he just had a love of the game that was unmatched. And a love of sweating his ass in that awful mascot costume.
