Mugsy waves on this pennant from 1997

Today, Mugsy is a favorite at every home Salem Red Sox game.  But, do you remember when he was a mascot for the Salem Avalanche?  This pennant from 1997 depicts Mugsy in a different uniform than he wears today.  You can see it on display this weekend as part of the Salem Museum’s Hands-On History Saturday program.  The hometown team was Salem Avalanche from 1995 to 2008.  Avalanche was a Colorado Rockies affiliate from 1995 to 2002 with purple and white uniforms.  In 2003, affiliation changed to the Houston Astros and purple was changed to red.  This pennant is a reminder of how things may change, but traditions can adapt over time.

This weekend is your last chance to interact with items from Salem baseball and football history! Hands-On History this month highlights Salem’s baseball teams, Andrew Lewis High School football, and Salem High School football.  On Saturdays, visitors can pull on a glove and touch a piece of history with their own hands.  Visitors can also visit the Museum’s sports gallery to learn more about Salem’s sports history.  In August, Hands-On History is sponsored by Sherwood Memorial Park.  Salem Museum is open 10-4 and located at 801 E. Main St.
