One of the most entertaining aspects of attending a minor league baseball game — aside from the potential to see a future major leaguer or a disabled major leaguer working his way back up — is watching the mascot run around. These men and women disguised as larger than life squirrels, chihuahuas, and even anthropomorphized biscuits, hype up the crowd and (hopefully) bring luck to the home team.
We've compiled a list of ten teams with quite the creative mascots, check them out below!
