Show Notes
While the Phillies are number one in the league right now, is the Phanatic the best mascot in baseball? And how did a giant, flightless bird from the Galápagos wind up representing us anyway? We’re revisiting a conversation host Trenae Nuri had last year with AJ Mass, editor and writer at ESPN and author of “Yes, It’s Hot in Here,” about his experience as a mascot for the New York Mets and how the Phanatic became the model for future mascots to follow.
