Build-A-Bears A-Plenty

Yesterday we got the shipment of the five MLB build-a-bear team mascots that we won in a sweepstakes. It was first prize…the grand prize was an airline trip to a MLB game. It was a ‘enter once’ sweepstakes. The kids were excited...they got the Phillie Phanatic, the Cardinals Fredbird, the Red’s Gapper, the Indians Slider, and the Giants Lou Seal.

That tantrum by the Mississippi Braves manager was something. JF and Cox seem to be standing by the guy…I thought they might fire him. The Braves are about the only team to have most all of their minor league teams still wearing the same unis as the big club. In this case that’s a negative. The unis and team names could change in the near future, as Liberty said they’ll probably sell the teams and contract with the new owners. It could also spell the end of the relationship with Richmond, and then they could have a closer AAA team. That could upset the cart of the long-standing International League.
