UNMASKING TORO: Meet the person behind the Texans mascot

ABC13's Nick Natario meets the person behind the mascot - Toro the Houston Texans' biggest fan.
more on this story: It might be sweaty and hot, but the man behind the Texans mascot said it's a job of a lifetime.
If you're a Texans fan, you've probably seen, hugged and even took a photo with this superfan. But if you passed him on the street, you'd never recognize him.

As a semi-pro football and hockey mascot, I have nothing but respect for Toro, and all of the collegiate and professional mascots. Live the dream and have fun!!!

[@ranelgallardo7031]

Partial purpose of a sports mascot is help market the team to children, his appearances at schools and hyping them up with a good message to them is a great thing. He’s doing a great job.

[@SecretUser2000]

It seems as though NFL, NBA, and NHL mascots are the best paid but have the busiest schedules.
