Also, here is a fun baseball-related list:
Top 5 Worst Minor League Mascots
- 5) New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA, Miami Marlins) - Do you know what a Zephyr is? Me neither, but this team named their mascot after a roller coaster. That's just lame.
- 4) Modesto Nuts (High A, Colorado Rockies) - I picked this one because it made me giggle.
- 3) Lansing Lugnuts (Low A, Toronto Blue Jays) - See the reason above.
- 2) Savannah Sand Gnats (Low A, New York Mets) - The only thing intimidating about sand gnats is that they are annoying and annoying is not a good reason to pick them as your mascot.
- 1) Akron RubberDucks (AA, Cleveland Indians) - At first, I loved this one, but then I realized that it sounds more like a money grab to me and now I detest it.
-Easily my favorite minor league mascot is the Vermont Lake Monsters. I have no idea what that is, but it sounds awesome.
