It’s baseball season, and each year, the Saint Paul Saints‘ bullpen gets a visitor from the pigpen. This year it’s a piglet named Slumhog Millionaire, from a litter born at the Minnesota Zoo. Slumhog joins the Saints’ past pantheon of punny porcines, including Boarack Ohama, Notorious P.I.G., and (forgive us) Kevin Bacon.
SlumHog Millionare! if I ever get a piggy that will be its name>
SQUEE(LL)!
Whoa, pig eye lashes are unreal. Maybe topped only by snout fuzz.
That’ll do pig, that’ll do.
are the pigs in honor of the original name of St Paul? I believe it was Pig’s Eye?
such a pretty coat! spots!!
Just want to state for the record, I had nothing to do with this.
And you’re right, Divine. (Also not my fault.)
This morning I did two toddler story times that featured a very popular activity we call “throwing the pig”, in which I go around the room and hand a pig puppet to each child in turn and they throw it back to me. Damn, I really could have used this guy, if only he’d shown up a couple of hours earlier. Would have been so much more fun!
His Pig-ture is Pig-tacular.
This whole thread isn’t very kosher….but since we’re on a roll, don’t forget previous visitors Ima and Youra (Hogg).
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! The eyelashes! The eyelashes!!
If you’re going to be a sportspig, Slumhog, stay away from the Metrodome. That’s where the Vikings throw the old pigskin around.
He’s got porcinality plus
inspired!
Piggy i love them they are so cute
Am I the only one here who wants to nom on piggy ears!? Sleeping in a sunbeam, that’s a rule, right?
@KittyAdventures: LOL! Nice one!
Lerrinus, I’m having the devil of a time not posting a link to actual pig-ear-eatingks-related articles…
Is it just me, or does he look like he’s wearing a little Fred Flintstone shirt? The color and the spots and all…
That’s one of the cutest wee little piggies me has ever seen!
Snouty little piggy
I’ve never seen a pig being held look that relaxed……..hmmmmmmmm
EVer heard a piglet squeal when you pick them up????!! Soooo loud and funny!!!
The piggy is super cutee!!!
Oh man, I love the Saints!! Haven’t been to a game in a while, but it was always a lot of fun! And I hate baseball! Would so watch the Saints over the Twins any day!
Look at those long luscious lashes and those soft ears! So petite, so lovely!
Brad Pig?
Beyoinkce?
Katharine Zeta-Jones?
“Take me out, to the ball-pork… ”

What a sweet little swine, kisses and hugs for my little ginger sweetheart
Good call, Mary Ellen. I agree.
Whee! Minor league baseball rocks!
PS B-Serve, Joey Pig was the Mets bullpen coach, and he had a tomato garden in the bullpen.
What a gorgeous, kissable snout! Has anyone noticed he has SNOUT CHUB!!!!!!
I bet that wee snouty is so prehensile it could swivel round and round like a helicopter in its quest for anything nuzzle-able.
Please please give us a snout-hance!
Darn! I was hoping Teho had something to do with the naming of this bebeh peeg.
Swine divine.
I love pigs. We live near a farm that raises traditional English breeds, and I love piglet season. They’d sell their souls for a scratch behind the ear, and they love to play. I’ve even given up bacon and ham…that’s how much I love them.
Is it dead?
[Are you? - Ed.]
gfeeser…love “he’s got porcinality plus.”
Does anyone know what kind of peeglette this is? I’ve never seen one like it before. Certainly not your everyday, run-of-the-mill farm pig.
Hmmm. This reminds me I had a dream about pigs last night.
I live in Minneapolis and go to the Saints games on occasion. I was sad to learn recently that all of the mascot pigs are sent to the slaughter house at the end of the season, except for the very first mascot piggy. He died a natural death. I wish they would send the mascots to Farm Sanctuary or to a hobby farm, instead of killing them. (Sorry to harsh your buzz!)
I am going to see the Saints play in a couple of weekends, and am now SO excited to see this little guy out there! What a cutie pie!
His name SHOULD be “Slumhog Millionhairs”.
Such a sweet little pig, and fuzzy too! I could never eat this little guy!
