George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He was a good Pittsburgh Pirates fan, though.
Every now and then, he went to the games, and people mistook him as the mascot.
They’d take selfies with George.
Usually, it was kids. Or drunk fans.
George made a lot of tips this way.
Soon, other pirates went to the ballpark, looking for easy money.
The team tried to ban pirates from the games, but they had trouble telling the difference between pirates and fans.
So, they hired George as a consultant.
He made even more money this way.
