We're happy to formally introduce Toasty, the new Minor League mascot/Guy Fieri doppelganger
Back in November, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox announced that they were changing their name to the Rocky Mountain Vibes. It was a catchy new nickname, but what caught our eyes the most was the look of the mascot, Toasty. Somehow, he was Food Network star Guy Fieri incarnate:
The Colorado @skysox have re-branded as the 'Rocky Mountain Vibes.'

Their mascot looks like Guy Fieri dressed as a s'more. We absolutely love it. pic.twitter.com/ro1BN8g6bC
Saturday offered our first glimpse at what Toasty would look like in the flesh. Would the Fieri comparisons continue to ring true?
The Vibes knew we were all on the edge of our seats, desperately seeking the answer. So, they teased us.
Toasty says join us tomorrow at the @ppymca (Pikes Peak YMCA) facility on First & Main for our big mascot and jersey unveil!! #MyRMVibes pic.twitter.com/SJ2Nt7O3vP

Only one more sleep until we get to introduce Toasty. We'll see you at the @ppymca (Pikes Peak YMCA) facility on First & Main tomorrow morning. Event starts at 9am, with the unveil starting at 10:30am. If you can't make it, we'll be streaming it live on Twitter, Facebook, and IG! pic.twitter.com/GXuQG0jOun

Rude. But we respect the hustle.
At last, Saturday came. With a live feed ready at the go, the Vibes unveiled Toasty ...
... and he was everything we dreamed he would be.
That is 100 percent Guy Fieri, and now, everyone knows it.
Spot the difference. pic.twitter.com/eBUbik65Cc

Uncanny.
If the Vibes don't rename themselves the "Flavor Town Vibes" at some point this season, then what has this all been about? Make it happen. Please.
