PISCATAWAY, NJ - Known best for his prowess on a baseball diamond, Buster showed on Sunday that he’s more than just a one-sport sensation. The Lakewood BlueClaws mascot unanimously earned MVP honors in his second sport, basketball, in a mascot game at the Rutgers Athletic Center.

The yellow furry creature led the way with four points, though Buster and his teammate, IronDog of the New Jersey Ironmen, fell to the New Jersey Devil and Trenton Devil 6-5, in front of 4,018. Buster was named MVP in a poll conducted by the players and the referee, Boomer of the Trenton Thunder.
