Say what? These Mainebiz stories from 2020 were unlike any others

In January 2020, Mainebiz reported that the Portland Sea Dogs mascot, Slugger, shown with a dinosaur friend, was hiring.
In a year that didn't turn out the way anyone expected, Mainebiz reported some stories that were real jaw-droppers. Stories that surprised, delighted and amazed. Stories that made us stop and say, "Who knew?"
The businesses in these articles tended to be highly specialized. Quirky perhaps, often brilliant. And for some reason, baseball figured in several of these stories.
Here are 10 of the Mainebiz articles that may surprise, delight and amaze you, too.
