Dominic Latkovski has seen the world through huge inflatable animal characters based on famous professional athletes. He's the founder of the Zooperstars!, one of the most enduring touring acts that is approaching its fourth decade entertaining fans at sporting events.
In Episode 13 of the "Life Around the Seams" podcast, we learn how Dominic got his start with triple-A Louisville in the early 1990s, recruiting younger brother Brennan to join his act, creating BirdZerk! to start touring outside of Louisville, and then creating legendary characters like Harry Canary, Cow Ripken, Jr. and Roger Clamens.
Dominic scalped tickets to a Garth Brooks concert to raise money to attend his first Trade Show at the 1992 Baseball Winter Meetings. He hasn't missed one since. After the 2018 Trade Show ended, we chatted about injuries, appearing on America's Got Talent, which athletes love their alter egos most, and why the Zooperstars! have stood the test of time.
