The Zephyrs politic for your support. A Zephyr is a wind--carried over from when the team moved to New Orleans from Denver. Hence the rodent mascot...more on Boudreaux in the next shot.

Up close and personal with Boudreaux in the elevator--for you non-Louisianans, Boudreaux is a nutria, a species introduced to the US from South America--a rodent about halfway between a rat and a beaver. Their dams wreak havoc with south Louisiana canals and drainage ditches. But they're so cute...at least in mascot form.

The griddle catch is another promotion. This kid caught three beanbags in a row. He probably won a free breakfast from IHOP or something like that.
