Transvestigating Every Major League Baseball Mascot with AK
Added 2024-04-30 16:18:36 +0000 UTCWe did it, folks — we ranked every MLB mascot from transest to cissest. Sort of. Topics include:
The Phillie Phanatic doing trans social contagion
1984 Crazy Crab: the most hated mascot in sports history
A cocaine-dealing pirate parrot I’m not joking
How did they make “DJ Kitty” so cisgender :(
Which of these birds stormed the US Capitol on Jan 6?
Which of these mascots is AK's sworn enemy?!?
Dinger… CAN SPIN HIS HEAD!
Plus: Racing Sausages (racist), Racing Pierogis (acceptable), garlic fries (liberated) and helmet food (the way of the future)
You will absolutely need a list of mascots to even vaguely follow along. You’ll probably also want to look at the Dairy Daddies merch.

Very fun episode! Made me realize I had never seen a single baseball mascot aside from my home-team guy (Lou Seal). As someone who has experience baseball primarily via radio, secondarily in person, and only a distant third on TV, I hadn't really noticed these mascots at all!

2024-05-01 19:10:25 +0000 UTCsorry I got distracted by the Cub and forgot about the Bear and that's ageist probably.

2024-05-01 19:10:02 +0000 UTCWell this was a delight! I'm slightly bummed that TC Bear ranked so low, but it's fine because I like to complain a lot that Minneapolis/St. Paul needs some kind of mascot that unites people like Gritty, so it's ok.
