The Chicken shook wings with B.J. the Bird at Grainger Stadium Sunday night and began his entertainment. The Chicken displayed ability to give batter signals, but Blue Jay players failed to understand them until the 6th inning when they began to get some hits and put 3 runs on the board. The fans were excited about the game and very well entertained by the antics by the Chicken between each inning. Make it out to the old ball game, you’ll enjoy some good time baseball right next door.
