So, marketing question – Are mascots an important part of the baseball experience today, or are they simply peripheral to the process? After all, if owners’ claims that stadiums are integral to fans’ interest, it stands to reason that all parts of the stadium experience are necessary. One could even argue that the mascot is the only figure that can be guaranteed to wear the team’s uniform for 25-50 years.
I ask this because the Mariner Moose near killed the Red Sox center fielder, and so some people wondered if the Moose should be fined, banned or at least given driving lessons. The clips are funny since no one was hurt.
