junker5 on Squeeze the mascot:
A mustard mascot! All for you, Sam! Lol

Your sport's team mascot is a bottle of mustard. That's so on brand for you....
Honestly it seemed almost too on the nose, but well. It is Chicago. :D He’s branded on a bunch of merch, too, so I bought a stuffed toy of him. They also have a sort of “anti mascot” which is a bottle of ketchup in a trench coat.
ooemoo
Is that a cousin of the phanatic?
I have to admit I did see a certain resemblance :D But then all mascots are part of one siblinghood, I feel.

We got a BRAND NEW minor league stadium in my town that was supposed to open last year 😬 When I finally got to go to my first game last month I almost cried 😂😭😭
Yeah, I think the Dogs only had one season before the pandemic. Apparently they sucked less in 2019, according to one of the guys I rode the shuttle back to the train with :D And yeah, just...being out at a ballpark, especially seeing how happy everyone was and how many people knew each other and were clearly seeing each other for the first time in a year and a half, it was really nice.

Woooooooo Baseball! Unfortunately my favorite team came to where I live before my wife and I were vaccinated. Next year though.
One of the nice things about having lived in so many places is I have All The Teams to root for :D I can always find someone to cheer on, especially in the farm leagues because you have not only the team itself but whoever it feeds into....
salutingamericasass on BASEBALL:
Why... is there someone lying in the grass in right field.
LOL I didn’t even notice that when I took the picture...at a guess, it looks like he’s doing some kind of shoulder stretching.
I will say, the Railcats are fielding a really weird team this year -- I’ve never seen such physically small players outside of high school baseball. They’ve got a couple of guys that are comically tiny when you stand them up next to the Dogs players. They play like hell, I mean they won last night’s game and they have robust hitting in addition to strong fielding, but like. Why are their guys so small.
