Mascot races in baseball stadiums just an exposure of the type of corporate fan base that appreciates nonsense

Leroy Yost
   Baseball mascot races are corporate sponsored events that they put in between the boring action and inning switch in baseball games. Big money is spent and baseball found another great way for them to generate revenue during games with these mascot races that seem popular with the fans. I don't get it as I don't get why thousands of people in St Louis, New York, and Boston waste their summer evenings watching grown men in pajamas swing bats and catch balls. The lameness could be a by product of love affairs of the people attending baseball games as I always have said are connected and in control of many of these corporations that fund baseball.   The neurotic baseball fan is so into statistical analysis of season the season I wonder why these mother fuckers don't keep track and make stats if these hot dog mascot races. One would be truthful in saying people who attend baseball games are usually a part of the structure or whose families are and as a result why they get to go to so many games in many cases through corporate expense. You would have to be going to thee games as few people in this sanity would actually send their hard earned money watching baseball games and ascot races brought to you by company brand x in the sixth inning. Each stadium has their own sponsored lame race usually with a theme and recently the Wall Street Journal doing what a good business corporate outlet would informed the reader of the thrill and ranked the best mascot races in parks across America. Whatever the type of race between sausages, former presidents, or sea beings all these races are lame part of an encounter for a boring sport whose reliance on corporate spending is what subsidizes its existence and continued existence for the few thousands of corporate familes that think these outings are an important and necessary part of their being and wasteful summer experience gaining little knowledge of corporate dominance in their lives.
