WING, CHEESE AND CELERY RACE!!!!!

When researching fun mascot races in sports, I came across this hilarious race which takes place during home games for the Buffalo Bison, the triple A affiliate of the NY Mets.  It is the  Wing, Cheese, Celery Race!!!!!!!! (Also referred to as the WCC race!) This unique mascot race began in 2011, and is back again in 2012, with a new participant (Atomic Wing).

Each race participant even has their own twitter page! but poor Celery, it still hasn't won a race yet...“A crunchy, awkward stride” and “Bad aerodynamic design” have all put the lanky Celery at a disadvantage against his smaller, more nimble foes.......LET CELERY WIN!!

Here is the scouting report for the mascots!! The main entree. The Chicken Wing dominates the field with a BBQ style that's big, bold and quick. Has many different recipes for success, racing out to early leads or his classic comeback. Has a saucy demeanor and sometimes can get a little 'crispy' after losses. You can count on the Atomic Wing to really heat up a race. Might not always be on the menu, but when Atomic comes to play, you know it'll pack a punch and leave you sweatin'. A twist on the classic wing, Atomic is dangerous and fantastic all in one.                                          Bleu Cheese can absolutely smother the competition. With the mold of a champion, Bleu Cheese serves as a creamy rival to Chicken Wing. Uses a trademark spin to pull off upsets over the wings. Can sometimes "crumble" when winning.  The healthy option, Celery has a lean physique, but a stalky stride that hurts its speed. Celery can sometimes get big leads, only to fail in the 'crunch' Still looking for Win #1, Celery will also be good to the hearts of Bisons fans.

SO who would you pick to win?  Who is your favorite of the mascots?? If the Phillie Phanatic could chose to eat one of these mascots - which one would it be??  Should any more participants be added?  Maybe a Carrot??  or a Wet-Nap Towelette?!  YES!!!!
