King Elvis to Kingfish: “Sell Out or Else…”
Kenosha, Wis. – The Kingfish mascot, King Elvis I is up to no good. At approximately 10:27am today, he was found in the Kingfish clubhouse lounging in his underwear, eating bananas and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. King Elvis proclaimed that he has become accustomed to only performing in front of sold out crowds, being that the Kingfish sold out 30 of 36 regular season games this year. He would like fans to know that he will protest by striking and not perform at tonight's game if it is not sold out.
"Don't people realize I'm the King? The King deserves a sold out crowd," Elvis said as he sounded off in his release. He threatened that he would come out for a "brief" appearance only, but this would only be a quick streak in his Jockey underwear.
An appearance by Elvis deserves nothing less than a sold out crowd. To ensure that Elvis is at the first ever Summer Collegiate World Series home game in Kingfish franchise history, fans, purchase your tickets now.
