The Autobiography of Brutus Buckeye - Paperback

It's normally good practice to steer clear of people who are nuts. But not in this case. The story of Ohio State University's beloved mascot, Brutus Buckeye, is the lively and first-ever-told account of Brutus' life, from his birth in 1965 on a sorority house lawn as a gigantic, papier-m ch head, to who he is todaya less rotund and more sophisticated fabric version of his many former selves. Brutus shares the inside tales of his parents, his birth, his name, his many travels, and his kidnappings. We learn that he is so much more than a rambunctious, high kicking mascot, zipping around the sidelines at Ohio State University's sporting events. He is a representative for fundraising as he supports a wide array of organizations such as the Columbus Children's Hospital, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In 2007, he was elected into the Mascot Hall of Fame.
