There’s no evidence connecting success on the field with silly promotions, However, clever promotions that make fans happy isn’t the worst thing to hit baseball, minor or major league.
The Tulsa Drillers have stepped back in time and resurrected Oily the Oiler, the iconic mascot from the 50’s. I’m happy that the Cubs didn’t go the mascot route until they added Clark (the pantsless Bear), but i don’t begrudge Mr, Met, and Mr. Redlegs.
I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.
