Mr Celery

I don’t know if this is true but someone told me the story of the origins Wilmington Blue Rock’s other mascot, Mr. Celery.

It seems when the Blue Rocks were just getting started here in Delaware – before the stadium was finished – they rented some office space.

In that office space they found a celery costume in closet and some materials that indicated that the space had once been rented by some kind of produce marketing association.

Over a few beers as the work day wound down some of the blue rocks admin staff started messing around with the costume and someone said, “We need to figure out how we can use this thing…”

The rest is minor league baseball history
