Mascot Madness and Sideline Shenanigans
In this commercial, Mr. Met tries his hand at designing a brochure for his fvorite team... the New York Mets. What he comes up with is quite messy, and makes the executives very uncomfortable when they don't know what to say. Best quote: I only said that other stuff because I didn't want you to get a big head. Mr. Met - Brochure … [Read more...]
Her name is Elena Semikina and she is Miss Universe Canada 2010. Google It. You're welcome. … [Read more...]
Okay, look, there is nothing I like more than a feel good story about how tough it is to be a mascot. You deal with all kinds of things... rowdy kids, sweaty outfits, and even just the heat inside the costume. But there must be an oven in this guys suit... So how hot can it get inside the suit? "Somewhere between 130 and 170, 180 … [Read more...]
Okay, so I know this is a little late, but we just got back from our own little All-Star break, and boy are my arms tired... of blogging. Anyway, over the All-Star weekend at the MLB fan-fest, many, if not all of the Major League mascots were there entertaining the fans. Well, during one day, they put together a little mascot home run derby … [Read more...]
As seen on TV - The Phillie Phanatic decided to show Slider his undercarriage yesterday, and somehow it landed on TV, and then... thank goodness, YouTube. (via The700level.com) From the looks of things, Slider wasn't putting up much of a fight. I don't quite know if this move is in the Mascot Kama Sutra, but maybe someone should add … [Read more...]

According to our friends at the Courthouse News Service, a new lawsuit has been filed by a young lady blaming the Phanatic for aggravating her arthritis and creating the need for knee implants? (Which, by the way are NOT my favorite type of implants.) As seen on CourthouseNews.com: The … [Read more...]
Yep, that's right... back in the day, the New York Yankees had a mascot. And it's nothing like the overpayed pretty boy mascots they have now. THe "Yankee Dandy" as he was called served his tenure in the early 80's. (when the Yankees had salary cap room.) But then they realized the real money should be spent on the players and not a … [Read more...]
I love it when baseball season starts, because there is always a new crop of Minor League teams, and they always get creative with their mascots. Nowhere else in America except for Walla Walla, Washington could any team get away with a winking onion mascot. Great idea, and great execution. I don't know how I'd feel being a big, tough … [Read more...]
As far as I know, this is a first for the mascot world. The Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League are leaving New York for greener pastures... They leave behind a strong community of loyal fans, and one scrappy, yet loveable mascot. Rowdy, the River Rats mascot, has been in New York since 1993, and has become a very visible local … [Read more...]
THe Tampa Bay Devil Rays held their annual "Hip Hop Night" last week and put on a pretty good show. One of the highlights was Raymond, The Rays mascot dancing with Eniggma, a dance crew that was featured on the VH1 show "America's Best Dance Crew" It looks like it took a lot of rehersal, and it is always great to see a choreographed mascot … [Read more...]
