There has been nothing but outpouring love and grief displayed for the passing of the Royals’ team mascot this past Friday. I’m reminded of a quote from the Odd Couple’s Felix Unger. “There goes a rare spirit, a butterfly who paused for a moment on the flower of our lives”. It’s a great quote, but we need to remind ourselves that we’re talking about the loss of a praying mantis. His name, appropriately enough, was “Rally Mantis.”
Rally Mantis broke down barriers and paved the way for all of the young mantis’ who’ve had dreams of pursuing a big league career.
