Coal Train - Mascot - Of course!
FULLERTON, CA: After months of hiding the coyote’s identity, the Fullerton Flyers finally showed off their pride and joy. Coal Train, a friendly, upward standing coyote, made his debut appearance on Saturday, May 7th, 2005 at the Flyers’ Select-A-Seat Day at Goodwin Field. Coal Train was escorted by two Fullerton motorcycle police officers, and Miss Fullerton Runner-up, Rebecca Pulido.
Coal Train will be present at all Orange County Flyers’ home games this season and is also looking to get involved with his community.
Coal Train is available to visit schools, hospitals, after-school programs, businesses, and libraries.
