All I ever wanted to do was be in sports.
Just so ya know, I’m that guy in school you hated because I was good at everything. I made perfect grades, was captain of every team, played three instruments, and excelled at art, but what I really wanted was to be in sports. I won piano competitions, art competitions and mathematics competitions, but that didn’t matter because, what I really wanted was to be in sports. As we all know, the dream of being a professional athlete is just that, a dream, for most people, including me.
I decided that the best way for me to get into professional sports was through broadcasting. My parents were so proud that I had been accepted to all the top schools in Canada and that I could do whatever I wanted. They were not so excited however, when I decided to enroll in broadcast school at a small technical institute in Calgary. I figured if I could join a broadcast crew, then I could be part of every sporting event on the planet! After I graduated, I worked in several TV studios, and was soon working golf tournaments, hockey games and horse races all over Western Canada. I went to many sporting events but I was seeing them through a camera lens or television monitor. Yes, I was working AROUND sports, but not IN sports. This was not yet good enough.

Minimalist Nittany Lion Mascot Penn State $30.00 – $150.00Select options
Nittany Lion Mascot by Minimalist Artist S. Preston is a digital print enhanced on matte paper. All art posters measure 11×17 in size. Framing options are available in mahogany, walnut, black or cherry.
About the print:
The Nittany Lion traces its origins to 1907 graduate Harrison D. “Joe” Mason. Before a baseball game against Princeton in 1904, Mason and other members of the University’s baseball team were shown a statue of Princeton’s Bengal tiger, which the Princeton students claimed was “the fiercest beast of them all.”
In recalling the moment four decades later at the Nittany Lion Shrine dedication, Mason said, “An idea came to me, and I replied, ‘Well, up at Penn State we have Mount Nittany right on our campus, where rules the Nittany Mountain Lion, who has never been beaten in a fair fight.’”
In the coming decades, the Nittany Lion evolved to become “the symbol of Penn State’s best,” appearing not only at athletic events, but at celebrations, fundraisers and outreach efforts on campus and in the local community. In June of 2019, Penn State’s Nittany Lion was officially inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame on June 16 in Whiting, Indiana.
The Nittany Lion was one of four mascots enshrined over the weekend, including Tommy Hawk from the National Hockey League’s Chicago Blackhawk, Benny the Bull from the National Basketball Association’s Chicago Bulls and Sluggerrr from Major League Baseball’s Kansas City Royals.
