The age of the Major League Baseball mascot began with the birth of Mister Met, the New York Mets' mascot, in 1964. His design was a simple affair, consisting of a large, spherical head resembling a baseball with a face, and a body wearing a team uniform. Since the Mets lacked the history of their New York forebearers, the team felt it needed to hustle to draw fans to what was, until 1969, not a very good franchise.
Other teams soon followed suit, so to speak. Soon, every team had a mascot, at least for a moment. The New York Yankees, famous for not having a mascot, did experiment with having one very briefly from 1979 to 1980, in the form of a bird named Dandy. It did not work out. The Yankees' ethos in the Steinbrenner era was built around the concepts of button-down, clean-shaven professionalism, and the inherent zaniness of a mascot just didn't fit in that world. Besides they would argue, they have plenty of characters who come to games, like Freddie Sez, who died a few years ago.
Other MLB teams have embraced the mascot and made their own. With a total of 30 MLB teams, some with multiple mascots, which one matches your personality? Take this quiz and find your fuzzy soulmate!
