For some reason I'm rather blase about the All-Star Game this year. But there are people who care about it and it most certainly means something to the Angels and Disney. As part of the promotion of the game, Disney had littered the area with Mickey Mouse statues decorated to represent each major league baseball team; the first person to take their picture with each of the statues won tickets to the All-Star Game. It was a neat little scavenger hunt.
Things took a turn for the worst Friday night outside the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, where the Boston Mickey positioned. Someone attempted to take him out by beating him, probably with a bat. The article mentions that LAAAAA also plays in the American League but I'd be more likely to blame a Dodgers fan or a lost Yankee fan than an Angels fan; it doesn't seem like Angels fans care enough to beat up a Mickey statue.
Speedy recovery to Mickey, anyway.
