I’ve been following independent baseball ever since my hometown team Abilene Prairie Dogs came into existence in the 90s. So about a year ago I started following a team, the Portland Pickles. I love that mascot. It’s perfect for the kind of organization it is. Additionally they created a new league and have introduced some new teams. The Willamette Wild Bills, mascoted by a platypus(!) is one of those teams but in the greatest respect didn’t hit the mark on the mascot design. So I ABSOLUTELY had to give him a makeover.
