A painted mule at the old Lackawanna County Stadium celebrates the Red Barons, the now defunct Triple-A team of the Phillies. The mule was one of many in the Miles of Mules project to commemorate the role of the animals in the industrial development of Pennsylvania. The stadium was pretty tacky (still is) but it was also a fun place to watch baseball in the days of the Red Barons, particularly the battles that used to rage between them and the Buffalo Bisons, then a Cleveland Indians' affiliate.
