Major League Baseball (MLB) mascots
MLB mascots are animated characters representing teams, designed to entertain fans, promote team spirit, and enhance game-day experience. Often embodying team names or local culture, these mascots appear at games, community events, and media appearances. They serve as symbols that foster fan engagement and brand identity, blending sports enthusiasm with entertainment. Mascots like the San Diego Chicken or the Phillies' Phillies Phan have become iconic, helping to create a lively, family-friendly atmosphere at baseball games and expanding the team's appeal beyond just on-field performance.
