So, I was browsing Twitter last night and came across a photo posted by local sports anchor Brad Fralick (follow Brad on Twitter here). There are no words.

On second thought, here are a few words. You may remember that the Amarillo Sox made news earlier this year when they seemingly stole their logo from a major league team. Fortunately, it all worked out ok. I know what you’re thinking now: why, oh why, didn’t we copy some other team’s mascot? Me too…but, imagine what could have happened had we created our own logo from scratch. There’s reason to be thankful here.

wow

This is guy seems a bit too racy for baseball…or any sporting venue…or the internet.

Dear Amarillo Sox,

Please pick a new mascot costume…preferably one that doesn’t look like the Halloween costume of a sex offender.

Sincerely,

Society
