    This leaves the Dodgers and Yankees as the only two without a mascot or a monkey...

    :p

    re: Felix

    Isn't that the most annoying avatar you're ever seen? Even I hate it. Let me know when you've had enough. Is it time for pitchers and catchers yet?

    re: Clark da Cub

    I still can't believe the Cubs are doing this...

    the funniest thing, aside from that picture, was that I had a response all ready in my head to type up, then I looked down to see Terry had said the exact thing I was thinking.

    Waiting to see if Jo Co can identify Tinkers, Evers, and Chance in the 1908 photo.

    I hope that Clark has a better fate than prior Cub mascots.

    8)

    Well let's see here. I don't want to cheat by looking it up...so I'll just take a wild guess...

    I think Chance is to the right of the gopher, in the back. Next to the right of that is Joe Tinker, with Johnny Evers next and behind. Chance, Tinker and Evers right of the gopher. Was I close?

    What about the goat, is he a mascot or just a curse?

    Those are pretty dramatic number changes from Pre-Curse to Post Curse.
