	Mascot keeps Brockton Rox fans in the game - The Boston Globe
		He should, said Andrea Thrubis, the Rox's director of community relations and merchandise and the one who decides who breathes life into K-O.

		Among his clients is the Rox, who asked him to develop a character that could tie in Brockton's place in boxing lore.
		Following the 2004 Rox season, Sawyer, who played the Orange mascot at Syracuse University, moved to Indiana to work with both the NCAA and the minor league hockey franchise the Indiana Ice.

	Brockton Rox pair hope to play Olympic baseball
		Both would love a Major League organization to give them a shot, but a short-term departure from Brockton in the middle of the season that begins tomorrow night at Campanelli Stadium would be just as exciting.
		Brockton manager Ed Nottle doesn't bemoan the loss of Marchesano's 18 starts, eight victories, 117 innings and 2.92 earned-run average, and if the Games take two of his anticipated power hitters away for a big chunk of 2004, he'll be thrilled.
		Fera, a five-year pro veteran about to start his first season with the Rox (he spent last season playing for St. Paul of the Northern League), may not be as versatile as Lewis, but he does have a selling point.
