The Arizona Diamondbacks announced that they’re adding a luchador as an official mascot of the team, and some people are poking fun at the move, naturally.
We’re not sure if you’ve taken a look at the mascots around Major League Baseball recently, but a Mexican wrestler in a lucha libre mask is way better than most of these things.
Really, take a look at some of these:
- A very hairy devil ray
- A purple dinosaur
- An obese fish with arms
- This green thing
- This green thing
- An animal that’s not even marginally relevant to the area
- The National Audubon Society
- Just some guy with a baseball for a head
- Nothing
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
See, it could be much worse.
