The following are some comments/opinions . . .

"I have seen every mascot in the business, and Joby is head and shoulders above them all. His commitment to the art of mascotting is unsurrpassed and his loyalty to his character is phenomenol. I am glad to see Joby get back into mascotting as he has a wealth of experience which anyone serious in mascotting will benefit from."
"Homer the Dragon is still the best prospect playing at Knights Castle. Why some major league club doesn't give the Great Green One a shot in the big show baffles me? Homer is 'alive' in his costume. His skits are hysterical. There are long-time mascots around who can't touch him. He alone is worth a ticket to a game."
"I believe Homer's act would impress anyone. I also believe the guy inside the suit is an impressive person. Joby Giacalone has set professional standards for himself that few people is his day and time could match."

- taken from letter written to Charlotte Knights management, April, 1992

"I would like to file an official complaint to you and your ballclub. How do you expect a scout to keep his mind focused on the game when someone as funny as Homer is in the same ballpark? It certainly has been my toughest assignment in 17 years of professional baseball. Besides, the tears I shed laughing keep smearing my notes!"
"In all seriousness, Homer grades Major League across the board, the very best at what he does in this scout's eyes. I only hope I cover the Southern League again this year, so I can spend as much time in Charlotte as possible. My mother and father are planning to travel from Ohio to Charlotte this summer for the sole purpose of seeing Homer."
