-What mascot should our baseball team have?
-How about a big baseball…
-Go on…
-With, like, a human body?
-Jackpot.— Kyle Sammin (@KyleSammin) April 13, 2016
-And what facial expression should the representative of our mostly losing team have?
-A perpetual grin?
-Rictus! Yes, perfect!— Kyle Sammin (@KyleSammin) April 13, 2016
-And he should have a clever name. Our team is called the Mets, so–
-Mr. Met.
-Nailed it.— Kyle Sammin (@KyleSammin) April 13, 2016
