Talk:List of Major League Baseball mascots

Homer The Mets mascot
In 1962, the Mets introduced a beagle named Homer to be their first-ever mascot. Not sure if he merits a mention, since his stint was short-lived, but it was a novel idea, and predates Mr. Met, Mrs. Met, and Mettle. Don't want to crowd out the Braves' short-lived mascot of the same name. Here's a link: https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2014/8/1/5957873/homer-the-beagle-new-york-mets-mascot

Anamorhized
I strongly suspect that "anamorhized" is some sort of typo. Wiktionary doesn't list it and I got zero hits on a web search for the word. Perhaps "anthropomorphized," which means endowed something non-human with human characteristics, may be what was originally intended. Dick Kimball (talk) 18:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup of List
I made some major changes to the list today, similar to the List of National Hockey League mascots. I merged small stubs into the list and created a short intro paragraph for longer articles. This way, the page becomes a one-stop place for info about any MLB mascot, and is easy to watch that way. Edit history is preserved in the redirects of the stubs.

"Political Correctness"
I would suggest changing the description associated with the Atlanta Braves mascot Homer. The entry states: "Homer was the personifacation of the old 'Screaming Warrior' logo the Braves used before dropping it in 1988 due to political correctness." Besides containing a misspelled word ("personifacation", the description has a mildly belittling tone and sounds too much like opinion - almost as if the contributor disagrees with the organization's decision to change the mascot, and with "political correctness" in general.

Template
This page needs a template I think to link all the various articles of the mascots. Arnabdas (talk) 17:20, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Dinger (Colorado Rockies)
I see the article is mentioning the discovery of a triceratops skull at the site of Coors Field, but a recent investigation from Colorado Public Radio refutes that pretty distinctly. Here's the link to the article: https://www.cpr.org/2019/09/23/did-they-really-find-dino-bones-under-coors-field-or-is-that-just-denver-urban-myth/

Should probably be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdevoe (talk • contribs) 20:27, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
