Several Major League Baseball teams have racing mascots, including the Washington Nationals (presidents) and the Milwaukee Brewers (sausages). But one minor league team has introduced their own racers. And they may be the best characters yet.
Racing mascots, in which over-sized characters based upon a particular theme participate in a race between innings, are a growing fad in Major League Baseball.

The racers, Nuke, Crash, and Annie, debuted during the Bulls' home opener earlier this week. And if you loved the movie Bull Durham, you'll love this video (via MiLB.com)...
