The Phillie Phanatic debuted a new look during spring training on Sunday. (Philadelphia Phillies)PHILADELPHIA - "No one likes us, we don't care" apparently includes our mascots too.
A recent survey named our beloved Phillie Phanatic as the ‘Most Obnoxious Mascot' in MLB. The poll was conducted by Play USA and surveyed over 2,000 MLB fans who rated every mascot on a scale of 1-5.The Phanatic ranked 12th out of 27 teams (three clubs do not have a mascot) in terms of overall likability.
Clark the Cub from the Chicago Cubs was voted the best overall mascot, and Indians' mascot Slider was crowned the worst.In the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, we take care of our own.
