The Illuminated Donkey

Pre-Weekend Tidbit #1. Introducing the Official Major League Mascot of this Blog:

A Toronto reporter was asking [Cleveland Indians DH] Travis Hafner about how he got the nickname Pronk. Hafner explained that it meant half project, half donkey.

Seeing how Hafner is hitting .324 with 21 homers and 86 RBI, the reporter said, "Shouldn't you drop the project part?"

Hafner thought for a minute and said, "But then I'd just be Donk."

I don't see anything wrong with that, Trav, but close enough. Thanks to increasingly-gloating-Indian-fan Scott for passing this along.
