I thought of this after seeing the nominees for the College Sports Mascots Hall of Fame on an ESPN Show the other day. One of the anchors yelled at the Michigan State Spartan - "Wow, you must be on the Barry Bonds diet!" 2007 Hall of Fame Nominees Pro Sports Candidates The Coyote San Antonio Spurs Mr. Met New York Mets Hugo the Hornet New Orleans Hornets The Oriole Bird Baltimore Orioles Youppi Montreal Expos - Canadiens The Mariner Moose Seattle Mariners 2007 Collegiate Candidates Sparty Michigan State University Big Red Western Kentucky University Lil Red University of Nebraska Smokey University of Tennessee Sebastian the Ibis University of Miami Brutus Buckeye Ohio State University __________ Post funny mascot tales, ridiculous historic stories, and pictures here.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 For mascot hall of fame I'm picking Youppi and Mr. Met for the Pro Sports Wing and Big Red and Brutus Buckeye for The College Wing. Youppi is the best mascot I've seen in person. My favorite mascot moment I witnessed in person was when The 2005 Eastern League (AA) All-Star game when all of the mascots from all the teams did a Rockettes style kick line on top of the dugout. That and getting a high five from Hanley Ramirez were the highlights of the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
