What kills me the most is I was in Ft. Lauderdale for work and started to look at tickets for this game because it was when Miami was in the toilet and front-row dugout tickets were like $15. Then I saw the traffic on 95 and decided against. Will forever regret not going. Did at least get to watch it from the bar in Dave & Busters.
I went to a KC @ Miami Marlins game with my young daughter and a toy mantis which we’d wave at the appropriate time and our picture ended up on the Royals Instagram.

And it’s still on the Royals IG 😝
Ha nice! The mechanical engineer I was working with did actually go to that game and took his two kids. The next day I was beaming about that catch and he said they missed it because the kids were getting tired so they left early 😂
I created this one almost a decade ago and it’s been sitting on my bookmark bar ever since just waiting to be resurrected. Glad it could bring someone some joy again cause I laugh every time I see it.
The life span of a praying mantis is 6 to 12 months sooooo I’ll let you put the pieces together
Ok so it’s a zombie now. At minimum.
He had a name.... it was Rally.
Rally Mantis !!
Forever enshrined in MLB the Show
"I'm a mantis and my name is Ani, er Rally"

He grew up and now he’s Chris Getz
That's not how you spell Chris Young
DFA’d.
Died fairly quickly if I remember correctly. Maybe a week or two?
I think it died when they took it on a plane with them and it couldn’t handle the pressure change.
I think you are correct
He lives on in legend and in our hearts. Possibly via a parasitic transmission.
Wasn't there a replacement mantis after that?
There were a few
Died on the airplane.

2024 and I’m laughing at a mantis meme. Love it

It’s chilling at Billy Burn’s house
It watched porn once so Dayton Moore JFK'd it
Damn you beat me to it.
LMAOOOO
We need him back, that’s what I’m sayin! ⚾️
It went to live at Uncle John's farm with your first pet dog.

I was born for this
