Effectively Wild Episode 2011: Who Was That Mascot Man?

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter concerning the main leagues’ sudden inflow of 24-year-old right-handed pitchers with the surname “Miller,” the Rays’ surprisingly precarious place within the AL East (7:48), and the Cubs, the Brewers, and the state of the NL Central (12:45), earlier than focusing their bat-resuscitating powers on Trea Turner (17:22), with virtually fast impact. Then they discuss to David Raymond, the unique Phillie Phanatic performer, Gritty co-conceiver, frequent crew mascot guide, and founding father of the Mascot Boot Camp and Mascot Hall of Fame, about all of their mascot questions, the mascot design course of, and what it’s wish to be inside a mascot costume, plus updates and a Past Blast from 2011 (1:26:54).
