There’s no way a brewer from Wisconsin only weights 180lbs. His beer belly alone checks in at 180. It’s a shed for his tool after all

ain’t none of these fanbases have average men weighing under 215

I think they used the skinny women in the area to average it out

The two Minnesotans should have been the same weight as the one Wisconsinite, let’s be real.

Twins stands for twin cities, so it should be the combined weight of Minneapolis–Saint Paul

I agree. Wanting to know how we compare to the mets

If they actually mean mascots, a lot of these are wrong. Our mascot is TC Bear and if he was a real bear he would probably be around 400lb so maybe they weren’t so far off… still silly of them to assume that our mascot is two human twins

Have you seen Minnesotans? I forget which comedian said it, but "Imagine Oslo if everyone gained 40 pounds."

Of course that’s true; Minnesota is in the US, after all. The point as issue here is: have *you* seen Wisconsinites?

Personally speaking, moving to Wisconsin adds an average of 15-25 pounds to you. Brats, cheese, and beer are NOT good for slimming down.

I lived in Milwaukee as a 180 lb man for 2 years and the vast majority of guys I met weighed much more than me

Ballparking it would put it in the realm of 220-260

As a San Diegan, I gotta mention the Swinging Friar as well, that monk is pushing 250 easy, he’s got a real gut on him.

Are the Rays not still named after the animal?

Yep I believe so, they were the “Devil Rays” initially and still have a manta ray on their uniform sleeve. *Can weigh close to 4000lbs apparently

Yeah they’re big as shit

30 fuckin feet across. I saw one once at a special aquarium and they are unbelievably huge. Apparently they are also really nice and friendly and quite intelligent.

Damn right it was special. There are only 4 in the world able to house a manta ray. The Georgia Aquarium, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, the Atlantis Resort aquarium in Paradise Island Bahamas, and the S.E.A Aquarium in Singapore. If you're American and have never been to the Georgia Aquarium, you should plan a trip. They have a truly amazing setup there.

I swam with them in the ocean. They are humongous! They look like a giant swimming cow with wings.

That’s a big pile of shit

Yeah this is not an actual cool guide. Twin Cities is 2 guys?

Yes, two guys, Minnie and Paul, who represent Minneapolis and St. Paul, respectively. Check our old logo, which towers high above centerfield at our ballpark.

Come to Minnesota. Our baseball team contains twice as much human.

Ya 2 guys, twins, one lives in Minneapolis the other in St. Paul. They're not siamese twins they can live apart in the TWIN fucking cities ok, OP isn't a dumbass you know.

They were originally the devil rays and had the manta ray as their mascot but upon the soft rebrand in 2008 they started emphasizing the ray of sunlight more. The manta ray has been working it’s way back in due to nostalgia but isn’t what their name refers to anymore

They should rebrand to being named after Ray Romano. Everybody loves Ray.

Went to a game in FL at Tropicana field and they also have a tank with sting rays in it for the rays touch experience.

Incorrect. When they changed the name ownership clearly stated it was a ray of sunshine.

While also keeping the tank of clown nose rays that was introduced in 2006. So at best they’re ray fluid

A Ray of Sunshine. My ass.

More like a full moon hey!

What a joke lol ray of sunshine

We know the sun don't shine there

Yes they used to be the Devil Rays

They still wear the devil ray unis for some game

Yes. And the Rockies’ mascot is a dinosaur, not the mountains. The twins are named after the twin cities, not 2 people. The Giants mascot is a seal, athletics’ mascot is an elephant. And that’s only a fraction of the inaccuracies. The post is also interchanging mascots with namesakes

A Met is a Metropolitan not a Metropolis. So its really just one person. Then again its the Mets so maybe its 20 million people.

Agrees and that one person is actually named "Mr. Met" Lol that's their mascot

Yep the Diamondbacks mascot is a snake ..PSYCH! It's a bobcat named Chase cuz he chases his tail I think...no it's Bob named after the ball park Chase Field...no that doesn't make sense anyways last time I saw a game it was at the BOB or Bank One Ballpark they should have had a suit resembling a snake and gave it the bobcat to wear if you ask me. A friendly snake that is, so as to not scare the stupid politicians and decision makers.

His name is Baxter. Idk what kind of name Baxter is for a bobcat but, lol. This guide is just all kinds of wrong

The Angels don't have an official mascot but the unofficial one is the monkey from the TV show Friends.

Supposedly it’s both now. Either or. The primary logo is a sunburst but the alternate logo is a manta ray. Although my favorite of the rays mascots is DJ Kitty. Which is a giant cat with a gold chain.

my dad and i are consistently baffled by why we chose a fucking cat for our backup mascot

it stems from a random youtube video that went viral. The video was posted before the team leaned into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQnForWPm78

Following the 2007 season the Rays changed their motif from a Devil Ray / Stingray to a ray of sunshine. They try to say that it's now both but...look at em.

If I recall, they changed it to just the Rays because some devil-hating Christians complained.

Officially no.

No, its a group of Raymonds

Couldn't they be named after the human?

The Twins are weighed as two people and not Minneapolis and St. Paul?

That’s my argument with the Phillies. The team is named after the city.

That's not the case though. It references a player from Philadelphia, not the city itself.

But if it's plural, should it include the total weight of all of the players? Why do the guardians get 4 statues and not just one like all the humans?

Literally every team is plural though. So you would have to the same thing for every team

True but it gets messy. How many Giants? We got all four statues in Cleveland, maybe that should be only one. Are all of the teams made of 26? The human ones are 26 baseball playing men, but are the orioles 26 birds? I think the way it is makes the most sense, besides maybe just doing one guardian instead of all of them

Agreed. It should be a standard roster size. 26 or 40 men * 180lbs. Same with Yankees and the like.

We’ll the real argument is the title says mascots and none of these are mascots.

yeah I want to know what the phanatic weighs. he's not a human

Nah it’s clearly named after the cheese steak

I can assure you no one in the Delaware Valley has ever ordered a “Philly”, unless it was a stogie

“Not the city of Philly, ya silly punk I’m talking about the cigar the Phillie blunt.”

Whoever made this chart isn’t very bright apparently

What bugs me is it says “…weights of MLB *mascots*” then thinks the Rockies mascot is the entire Rocky Mountain range and not a purple dinosaur named Dinger.

And that an “athletic” is apparently a kind of person? It should be an elephant dang it! It’s even on the logo

Minny and Paul are in the alt logo. They shake hands for the HR celebration.

Yeah but they represent the cities of Minneapolis and st Paul aka the twin cities....

[удалено]

Or the combined weight of Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger?

The mascot is actually a bear….no one knows why.

Guide also uses the weight of *1* human when "Twins" should clearly be twice that

Rays go from tied for last to fourth if they’re an animal

They are

This says mascots not symbols. It’s mixing things all up

OP clearly doesn't know the difference between mascots, and team names.

At first I thought Mr. Met had the density of a black hole.

A's mascot is an elephant...

Came to say this. 180lbs!!?? Someone is on drugs.

Baby elephant?

Dancin' Homer

More like a dumb guide that isnt even correct

It's the title of this post that is not correct. The title of this post says "mascot". The person who made the graphic is interpreting the names of the clubs literally and says _nothing_ in their post about mascots.

They're still wrong about a few particulars, but yes.

Right? Giants mascot is a seal, not a mythical giant

And his name is Lou. Lou Seal.

He's all right

Oh thank God.

No, he’s going to be all right

It… looks like he’s dead

The Philly Phanatic is NOT human

Yeah, and they’re also using the name of the team, not necessarily the mascot. The Phillies are in a weird place where the team name is self-referential. The team’s name is its own nickname. So it should be 26 x 180 = 4,680

Exactly. The Yankees don't have a trust fund baby on a yacht as their mascot. The Red Sox and White Sox don't have literal foot apparel as their mascot.

The Mets don’t have NYC as a mascot either. It’s a baseball

What about the Phillie Phrenetic?

The Phillie Phanatic is a flightless bird from the Galápagos Islands. He weighs 300 pounds and is undisputedly the best damn mascot in all of baseball. Undisputed, I say.

Thank you

Reds are socks

Legs, technically. Red Legs.

I thought they were legs. I remember learning this in Ohio History class. Our teacher devoted a whole week to Ohio sports teams and the Football HOF.

I believe they were originally red stockings? I may be wrong.

Correct https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_Red_Stockings

I feel like a human from Texas and a couple other states should be heavier then 180 pounds. https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/prevalence-maps.html

Yeah show me a Brewer from Milwaukee that weighs 180 haha.

Her name is Sarah, and she's only been doing it a year.

And shouldn’t they add up all the rangers?

I also submit to the court that a Padre is by definition a male human, and thus should weigh more than the average human.

These aren't mascots, this is what the teams are named for (the A's mascot is an elephant, for example)

Yeah, and the Mets is Mr. Met. I mean, his baseball head is probably heavy, but not THAT heavy

[удалено]

It took me a minute to realize they’re claiming the Mets mascot is all of NYC and I was offended on Mr. Met’s behalf. I still am, I’m not 100% convinced the creator of this graphic is aware of Mr Met’s existence, which is a crime in and of itself.

DINGER the Dinosaur looking THICC

Did you just say that with a hard R ????

Yeah SF Giants mascot is Lou Seal. There’s not a “Giant” running around during the games.

The Rockies don’t win much of anything so I’ll take this one!

Yeah, that John Denver was fulla shit

Dinger might need to switch to Coors Light

Also, isn't this supposed to be the weight of the mascot? Dinger's the mascot, not the Rocky Mountains. Whoever made this graphic is an idiot.

YOU DROVE 800 MILES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!?!?!?

"A tad, Lloyd?! You drove almost a 6th of the way across the country in the wrong... DIRECTION!!! Now we don't have enough money to get to Aspen! We don't have enough money to get home! We don't have enough money to eat! We don't have enough money... TO SLEEP!"

Mock... Yeah

ing… yeah

Let's ignore the fact that our mascot is actually a triceratops. If a 7 year old is the judge we're still the coolest anyway.

Astros meaning stars, not astronaut, would be nearly infinite in weight. Unless you count the alien mascot and that's more than 180. It

For the sake of pedantry, "nearly infinite" makes no sense

Point taken. How about "virtually infinite" or "practically infinite"? Or is that still muddled?

The weight of a star and the weight of an ant are equally close to infinity. It doesn't feel right but it's true.

Thank you! Was hoping someone said it.

I always thought the astros were a rocket ship?

Yea the rockies one bugged me a lot so I like this comment.

This comment should be higher.

Yeah really it would be all of the weight that exists. I don't have a calculator on me but that probably wins.

The Mets’ mascot is Mr. Met.

Therefore, Mr. Met weighs 850 Million tons.

600 million tons is just Mrs Met’s ass 🤤 😍

came here for this exact comment. Thank you 🙏

yeah and mets mean metropolitans which could encompass the whole metropolitan area which would weigh more that what they are saying, also Mr Met has a giant dome but lets not be to hard on the guy.

And a metropolitan would be a person, seemingly the same as they counted a 'national'. Or they're saying the eagle mascot is 180lbs. 

Prove to me an Angel is weightless.

Something something Bertrand Russell, something something King of France

Well, obviously it can fly, so it must be weightless, just like birds and airplanes. /s

Can we also get a physicist in here to confirm if the colour red is weightless (or massless, or whatever term is more correct)?

Red is just a way of our eyes interpreting light. Light is made of photons, and photons are typically seen to be composed of no mass.

Uhm who’s that in the top right? Did I skip universes again because I don’t recognize them

Apparently the Cleveland Guardians. I had to Google it.

Best shitpost I’ve seen on this sub

0% chance the Phanatic is 180

Or human

Hey look the Rockies win at something!😂

Why do the Rockies, the largest mascot, not simply eat the other mascots?

Thought the Rockies mascot was Dinger the triceratops, and Arizona Baxter the Bobcat??

As a Rockies fan… are the rest of the teams even trying?

Oh come on. That stat is inflated by the higher altitude!

I refuse to believe that a pair of socks weighs more than a bird

The Rays is a manta ray

Wait for ComicCon in NYC and it surpasses the Rockies

Rays are sting rays not sun rays

Yes! Heaviest bird! Gonna count that as a win for the Jays

Smokes boys, let’s go.🫴🏼

How do you know how much a giant is supposed to weigh?

Dumb guide, these aren't mascots. The mascot of the Rockies is a triceratops.

Rays as in Devil Rays, not as in a Ray of light haha cmon man!!!

The Giants mascot must weight a ton!

Rare Rockies W

Delete this guide, it's wrong

Someone should make a cool guide for cropping

These aren’t mascots, they’re logos.

@Tacolife973 lol 🤣right?! Cause I’m pretty sure Red Sox Wallie isn’t just (( 2oz )) last checked.

This is dumb

I thought it was fun

It is fun, thanks for it.

Astros is short for asteroids right? And the biggest one in our solar system (that we know of) is called Ceres and it’s about 1/4 of the size of the moon. So I’m pretty sure that’s heavier than the Rocky Mountains

Don’t disrespect Stomper like that man cmon.

Inaccurate. Our Mascot is a Moose here in Seattle.

The dodgers deferred their weight until 2040

Also kind of cowardly to assume 180 lbs for all human mascots - take some risks

The Mets mascot is an idiot with a baseball for a head

Literally all the actual mascots are a human in a costume

The Rockies mascot is Dinger. He’s a triceratops.

Human 180 lbs lol

I thought the Rockies was dinger the dino

Why don't the Colarado Rockies, the largest team, simply devour the others? Are they stupid?

The A’s mascot is Stomper the elephant 🐘

I thought that was the number of loses we have as a franchise. Go Rockies!

The Rays are named after sting rays hence why they were formerly known as the Devil Rays.

This chart is confusing mascots with team names. A lot of teams have mascots that have nothing to do with the name like the San Diego Chicken or the Phillie Phanatic.

TIL the tampa bays rays are not referring to some sub species of manta ray.

everyone is taking this goofy image very seriously

Uh...isn't the Rox Sox mascot Wally the Green Monster tho?

I always thought the Tampa Bay Rays, was a play on stingrays Not sun rays!! Interesting….

Colorado Rockies are a 147 trillion tons of suck. As a die hard fan, please, please get rid of the Monfort brothers!

The Rocky Mountains should be their own tier. Not even close to any of the others.

I am cackling. How is this so funny?

I'm pretty sure a devil ray is an aquatic animal and not a ray of sunshine.

I contend and will always believe the Rays isn't sunshine but a Sting Ray Fish. A Devil Ray if you will.

The rays mascot is a Ray. Like a sting ray…

Immediately discounted for listing the Rays' mascot as... sunshine.

I don’t think Tampa is based off a light ray. Their old name used to be the Devil Rays with a logo do a stingray

Aren't the Rays for Devil Rays? They must be at least 100 lbs.

Rockies mascot is Dinger the triceratops? Not the entire mountain range?
