The Bowling Alley that Saved the Cavs’ Season

July 8, 2015Not to be outdone by Kevin Love — who recently appeared sans clothes in ESPN’s “Body Issue” — Cleveland Indians mascot Slider appeared without the Indians jersey he typically wears for his own Body Issue shoot. The Cleveland Indians posted the soft core photos to the team’s Twitter account, shocking thousands and possibly millions who are unaccustomed to mascot nudity. If you’ve ever asked yourself what the body of an alien muppet with a diet of exclusively hot dogs and cats (presumably) looks like stark naked, the answer to your question is in the photos below. If you’ve never wondered such a thing and shudder at the idea of learning, now is the opportunity to avert your eyes.
The photos aren’t quite as unnerving once you consider that Slider ordinarily walks around without pants. But … there is an awful lot of pink fur on display. The real question is: How long did they debate whether or not Slider should keep the shoes?
First, Slider appeared in a mock-up cover of his own ESPN the Magazine Body Issue, then engaged in some banter with Sports Illustrated, which may have jinxed the Indians as of yet unsuccessful season by putting them on their preseason cover with the headline “Why the Tribe will win its first series since 1948?” The Indians suggested that SI could get back in the team’s good graces by putting Slider in their next Swimsuit Edition. Thankfully, the Indians did not recreate Marisa Miller’s iconic iPod photo in Slider’s audition — but let’s not give them any more ideas.
Hey @ESPNMag — @kevinlove looked great, but did you lose the pics @SlidertheMascot sent you? http://t.co/ug3MbYZTna pic.twitter.com/7BFfYIoSjk

Maybe a little penicillin will clear up all those spots in his crotch area.
