Bat Invades NBA Court and is Captured by Spurs Mascot Dressed as Batman
If you want to work part-time as the stadium mascot for the National Basketball Association (NBA) San Antonio Spurs, you need one more skill that other teams don’t need.
Generally, to work as a mascot, you need to have personal skills such as dancing skills, but at San Antonio’s home stadium, you also have to be good at catching a flying bat.
The 2023-2024 NBA regular season game between San Antonio and Minnesota Timberwolves held at the Frostbank Center in San Antonio, Texas, USA on the 28th (Korean time) was stopped as soon as it started. 온라인카지노
A bat flew into the court early in the first quarter, making normal play difficult.
Then, San Antonio’s team mascot, Coyote, dressed up as Batman and came out as a ‘solver’.
This mascot, who came in with a large dragonfly-shaped tool, swung the bat several times in an attempt to catch a bat, and soon succeeded in capturing the bat alive.
Fans were delighted with the amazing sight and applauded loudly when Batman caught the bat.
Bats often appear at San Antonio’s home stadium.
In 2009, there was a famous scene where Manu Ginobili, who was San Antonio’s starting pitcher at the time, hit a bat that flew in during a game against the Sacramento Kings with his bare hands and sent it out of the court.
In 2015, a bat invaded before the game started, and in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans in 2019, a bat appeared in front of fans in the first quarter.
When a situation like this occurs in the San Antonio team, the club’s mascot wears a Batman suit and sends it out onto the court.
This is to create a fun scene where the club mascot wearing a bat emblem actually catches a bat.
On this day, the San Antonio team’s mascot captured a bat alive and carefully brought it out of the court to become a ‘hero’ in the stadium.
Ginobili, who had caught a bat with his bare hands in 2009, was watching this scene from the stands.
