The original question did not say it had to be baseball. I was thinking the University of California Santa Clara Banana Slugs. A cross between a jaundiced Shrek and Barney. If you want to frighten your children threaten to have him visit your house!

I think a lot of people in Connecticut were annoyed when the AA New Britain Rock Cats were turned into the Hartford Yard Goats.

This is one of their bobblehead giveaways, BTW. A Yoga Goat, LOL. Embarrassing.

I mean, in a way, I guess you could call it kind of scary.

There are way too many to mention...

The New York Mets/Metropolitans
The Washington Senators/Nationals
The Philadelphia Phillies/Blue Jays
The Cincinnati Reds/Redlegs
The Chicago White Sox
The Boston Red Sox
The Oregon Ducks
The Irvine Anteaters
The Shreveport Steamer
The Philadelphia Bell
The Detroit Wheels
The Memphis Southmen

... are just a few that come to mind off the top of my head. There are infinitely more non-intimidating and benign team names that I can't readily conjure up.

Fun thread!

As long as you would butter him up a little he probably wouldn't be so hard and tough.

I mean, come on...a giant, wide-eyed baseball (who could possibly swing and miss it???) with a goofy grin...

You're wrong. This is, quite clearly, the greatest thing ever.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the Chicago Whales of the Federal League! That's the first name that I thought of when I saw the title to this thread.

I'd feel pretty safe playing against them as long as the game was on dry ground.

I almost forgot one of my favorite team mascots, the Richmond Flying Squirrels.

Nothing dirty about goat yoga. Perfectly natural occurrence.

Any Islanders fans out there? A bunch of years ago, they wanted to change their logo to an 'intimidating' figure, but the only thing we saw was the Gorton's Fisherman...

That is UC Santa Cruz, Santa Clara is the Broncos.
