Stomper, the official Oakland Athletics mascot, stands at 6’6″ tall and weighs “a ton of fun”. He debuted on the Opening Night Game of April 2, 1997, and is known for his love for peanuts. The mascot has been a source of controversy since the 1990 Indians introduced their new mascot, “Slider”, in an attempt to mitigate the Indian-Chief Wahoo controversy.
Some people love Stomper, while others hate him. Some fans have even created handmade Stomper apparel to help entertain crowds at private events. The team plays well, sometimes even making it to the playoffs, but only to fall short and leave. Mike Davie, an avid sports fan born and raised in Oakland, has watched his hometown teams leave.
The Oakland Athletics are consistently competitive with a high payroll, much like Cleveland. The mascot is also known for his love for peanuts and his vacation spot in Mesa, Arizona. The Oakland Athletics are currently working on handmade merch as the team departs from the Oakland Coliseum.
In addition to the mascot, the team also has a fan-made Stomper that can be used to entertain crowds at private events. The team’s success is attributed to their consistent performance and the love they have for their fans.

“Fredbird” is a play on Redbirds, a nickname for the Cardinals (also the name of their AAA affiliate in Memphis). The Rally Squirrel is because of a squirrel that ran onto the field during the 2011 NLDS, the same year that the Cards made their big World Series journey (after almost missing the playoffs entirely, edging the Braves out of the Wild Card literally within a few hours). The rally that he represents isn’t just a single game, but, rather, the rally all the way to winning the 2011 World Series.
Bad blood from Orioles goes way back. I grew up in northern va as an orioles fan in the cal Ripken era. The period before the expos moved to dc, the dmv was firmly Orioles and redskins (I didn’t know any bullets/wizards or capitals back then) territory. When it was on the news that the expos may move to a new city and dc was the most likely candidate (Dulles va was too believe it or not) the Orioles organization was against it because they knew fans were going to leave. They tried to stop baseball returning to the capital but fail and instead worked a compromise. MASN tv network was owned by the Orioles has legal rights to broadcast Orioles and nationals games, so they will profit from viewers of both teams. I was torn but took a year to decide what team I want to be a fan of. Until 2012, Bryce Harper rookie year, the team was so bad, thought I made the wrong decision but no regrets now. The current nationals is actually dc’s third baseball team. The first Washington nationals named after national bohemian beer (renamed the senators after sponsorship of senate beer) became the Minnesota twins in the 1960s that’s the one that won a World Series in the 1920s and had yearly tradition going way back to presidents throwing the first pitch played in Griffith stadium same one as redskins, second senators team became Texas rangers, and this nationals team was from Canada.
I had a feeling that Orbit will be Number 1, Orbit is such a great mascot for the Astros! FunFact: In the year 2000-2012 The Astros Replaced Orbit with a Jackrabbit Named Junction Jack (Because We’re Known For Our Railroads, And Of Course The Jackrabbit we have a lot in Texas. Also During the game from what I remember as a child, if there was ever a home run the train In Minutemaid park would go around the stadium, yeah we used to have a tiny train inside the stadium, As you can see having the Name Astros and having train stuff didn’t match the whole esthetic). But By 2012 Orbit was brought back and is here to stay (and of course Orbit is a fun name for him because Here in Houston we’re known as Space City because of NASA and the Space Center)! Orbit is so cute and so funny That he really brings the Team and Sports Fans spirits up! Orbit is such a great mascot (if we’re not counting NBA, Because Clutch The Rockets Bear is just as great as Orbit, Seriously Clutch has won many awards for being a great Mascot)!
I really likes this, I’m a huge yankees fan so the deal with dandy is he was supposed to represent the older generation of yankees baseball players who back in the day had crazy big mustaches, they also gave dandy a mustache becuase at the time Thurman munson (an amazing pitcher for the yanks at the time) also had a mustache that was similar to the original players from the early days of baseball and after munson died in ’79 they kinda just put dandy away until ’81 when they officially retired him
The Pirate Parrot has always been the Pittsburgh mascot since they were created. The Pirate was a side character that they brought out back in the late 90s for an anniversary. As the Pirate Parrot, and the Pirate we’re both doing meet and greets at the stadium for two years. The Pirate has since retired, and is brought back occasionally for special events. Pirate Parrot is still running the ship!
