Trujillo Alto Fritters

Mascot: Fritiguana

(frito “fried” + iguana “iguana”)

The name of the game with Fritiguana, the mascot of the Macabeos de Trujillo Alto, is absolute placidity. That's how you handle being a big gold iguana with a blue head, gold eyes, a blue-and-white striped tail, and dumplings—delicious, golden-brown fried dumplings—for spikes along your back. I mean, that's like if we all walked around with visible vertebrae that just also happened to be French fries.
