Meet the Midweek Mascot

Henry the Puffy Taco
And Ballapeno collaborate in this terrific dance off. Today it is a two for one. The stumble-footed mascot of Henry's Puffy Taco Restaurant has been appearing at San Antonio minor league baseball games for 16 years now. Aside from hamming it up with his partner "Ballapeño" between innings at the AA Missions' games, Henry's main role is to race around the bases with a youngster chosen from the crowd. --[Hold it right there Henry]

The Texas legislature, which knows a good taco when it sees one, honored Henry in 2003 with House Resolution 490 recognizing him as, "truly entertaining, hopelessly endearing and curiously appetizing." He's also been named the "Best Mascot in the Minor Leagues" by Newsweek Magazine.
