That international boy of mystery, the Florida Marlins' suspended batboy, was invited by the Fort Myers Miracle to the Lee County Sports Complex on Monday night.

His name remains unknown, at least at this writing Monday. His whereabouts are a mystery. The Miracle, though, went ahead with plans to salute the batboy, who was suspended by the Marlins for engaging in a milk-drinking wager.

"We still cannot find him," said Andrew Seymour, the Miracle's assistant general manager.

Instead, the Miracle dressed up somebody else as a batboy, with a brown paper bag over his head. The make-believe batboy, whose identity was not revealed, was brought onto the field in a limo.
