Sweat and undies in Las Vegas: a minor league mascot story

In some ways, Cosmo the mascot is a newcomer to Las Vegas, but in other ways, he is its moon, its sun, and its stars. (At least that’s true for every minor league baseball fan within city limits.) And Cosmo’s story is one of triumph and of resilience: He is the survivor of a spaceship crash, and, following that tragic accident, spent time at “Area 51.” On the bright side, Cosmo was a baseball phenomenon on his home planet of Koufaxia, and so when the Las Vegas 51s came a-knockin’, he was ready to hop on the field.

Unfortunately, Cosmo wasn’t ready for the oppressive heat that comes with being a minor league mascot in Nevada. As a result, he suffered from major league funk in the underpants. That is, until Russell FreshForce Underwear came to the rescue, saving this local hero and, you know, everyone’s noses.
