20) Hambone, Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, International League

Vegetarians and Vegans beware of this scrumptious slab of meat.  Is that a heart monitor on his midsection or is he just happy to see the hot dog vendor?  

 

19) Gigante, San Jose Giants, California League

If you thought Howie Mandel’s soul patch was creepy, checkout Gigante.   When asked about shaving his gigantic orange flare, the Godfather Gorilla gallantly grumbled, “Don’t ask me about my Monkey Business!”  

 

18) Buddy Bat, Louisville Bats, International League

Even though bats are nocturnal, boring minor league baseball games can put them to sleep anytime of the day.      

 

17) Cosmo, Las Vegas 51s, Pacific Coast League

Even Jar Jar Binks is embarrassed by his distant cousin Cosmo.  That says plenty, considering Jar Jar wasn’t the least bit embarrassed by his poor performance in Star Wars.  Maybe Cosmo’s creator had one too many cosmos drinks when stitching together this intergalactic costume.  Cosmo (left), Jar Jar (right)

   

 

16) Cooper, Oklahoma City Red Hawks, Pacific Coast League

Why did the chicken cross the road?  To cock-a-doodle doo something.  Poor Cooper looks like a little chicken, but don’t let his fowl baby-face fool you; he’s 90% red hawk and only 10% Kentucky Fried Chicken.  

 

15) Archie, Reno Aces, Pacific Coast League

If a whoopee-cushion could come to life, this is what it would look like.  Whatever you do, don’t sit downwind of Archie’s flat, flagellant face… he’s about to blow!

 

14) Rhubarb the Reindeer, Tacoma Rainers, Pacific Coast League

As a result of running over grandma on Christmas Eve, Rhubard is doing his community service in Tacoma.  Apparently he had one too many buck shots when that horrific traffic incident occurred.  Don’t worry, he’s back on the wagon and doesn’t go buck wild anymore.         

 

13) Kino Bambino, Tucson Padres, Pacific Coast League

Why do monks always have partially bald heads?  Maybe the top of their heads are shaven to resemble a halo.  This balding Bambino should invent the hair club for monks.  He’d make a furry fortune.     

 

12) Rascal, Harrisburg Senators, Eastern League

Rascal the Senator looks like a two-timing, egotistical, devious, dim-witted, corrupt clown.  Therefore, he has all the basic qualifications to be a Politian. 

 

11) Big Mo, Montgomery Biscuits, Southern League

Well butter my buns, there’s an elephant in the room and it’s eating a gluten-free, peanut-flavored biscuit.  Since Montgomery operates on a low budget, Big Mo is also the team’s first base coach as seen here.  It’s quite ironic the Biscuits have bad batters this this season.        

 

10) Ballapeno, San Antonio Missions, Texas League

What in the Sam Hell is this?  A preview to Despicable Me 3! 

 

9) Nutzy, Richmond Flying Squirrels, Eastern League

It’s a bird, it’s a plane; it’s Nutzy the flying squirrel.  Nutzy was on the juice with Bonds, McGuire, and Sosa in the early 2000’s.  Needless to say his nuts aren’t all what they’re cracked up to be anymore.       

 

8) Wally the Walnut, Modesto Nuts, California League

Where’s a nutcracker when you need one!  During the hot dog days of summer, his chestnuts are roasting in that outfit.  Wally needs to keep a safe distance away from the peanut-eating elephant and the juiced flying squirrel.   

 

7) Muddy the Mud Cat, Carolina Mud Cats, Carolina League

Muddy has the same expression on his face as Arnold Drummond of Different Strokes had when saying, “What you talkin’ ‘bout, Willis!”  For younger people not familiar with Arnold Drummond, Muddy has the same expression as Justin Bieber had last month when finding out Santa Claus wasn’t real. 

 

6) Mugsy, Salem Red Sox, Carolina League

The new international sign for peace is a monkey shaking hands with a Dr. Seuss character.  The only thing that would make this picture weirder is if the monkey was riding a dog… oh wait, it is. 

 

5) Manny the Manatee, Brevard Manatees, Florida State League

A manatee is basically a fat piece of blubber that slowly floats in subtropical waters.  This just goes to show how badly gym programs are at our public schools when kids can’t even outrun a sluggish piece of blubber. 

 

4) Lou E. Loon, Great Lake Loons, Midwest League

Lou E. Loon walks into a drug store and buys chap-stick.  The clerk says, "Will that be cash or charge?" The loony loon says, "Just put it on my bill!"

 

3 Tied) Tennessee Tex and Tess, Greenville Astros, Appalachian League

Good ole Tex and Tess are participating in the intimate display of Muppet seduction.  For Pete’s sake, get out of the family section and get a hotel room already!  

 

3 Tied) Rooke, Elizabethton Twins, Appalachian League

Rooke looks like an overgrown Garden Nome that needs a shave.  What’s he staring at and why does he have a giant grin on his face?  Good grief, he’s mesmerized by the Muppet seduction above.  He’s green with envy.

 

2) Barley, Hillsboro Hops, Northwest League

Without beer, baseball would be the one of the most boring sports to watch, right ahead of women’s Olympic curling…. or any women’s sport for that matter (with the exception of beach volleyball).  Thankfully, there’s Barley of the Hillsboro Hops to ignite the excitement.  Play ball and curl on!  

 

1) Webbly, Everett Aqua Sox, Northwest League

Is Webbly a frog, a lizard, or an insect?  Nobody knows, but there’s a good chance that his species is an ingredient in your next ballpark frank.
