Teddy’s mother, Sil Mazzini, gave him the option of going to Disney World or Legoland for his sixth birthday, or Sil could throw a party for his friends.
He chose a party without hesitation, and Mazzini immediately began planning. She reserved 40 seats at Peter Piper Pizza in Tuscon, sent out invitations in school, assembled goody bags, and then waited for the big day, Oct. 21.
However, none of the guests arrived at the pizza parlor. Only Mazzini, Teddy, and the boy’s father arrived from out of town.
Mazzini received one call from a parent who informed her that they would have to cancel. She did, however, anticipate around 32 guests. Nobody showed up.

(“Bet you thought we were going to say bananas, right? Actually, he likes them on his pizza,” reads the Gorilla’s official team bio, “but a lot of pizza restaurants don’t have that particular topping.”)
Teddy is a big sports fan, his mother said. This will be his first trip to a major sporting event.
