ST. LOUIS – Fredbird, the mascot for the St. Louis Cardinals, has caught the eyes of baseball fans, having the “it” factor, according to a new poll.
BetUS, a site for online betting, released a poll that ranked MLB mascots on how attractive they are.
Readers ranked the mascots based on the following criteria: personality, confidence and presence.
“We’re not talking about who’s behind the mask—these mascots have hot personalities that shine, making us do a double-take. After all, it’s what’s on the inside that counts,” the site wrote in the post.
St. Louis’ mascot, Fredbird, was actually ranked pretty decent by the organization.
The MLB has over 27 active mascots, and Fredbird was rated #12. The Arizona Diamondbacks’ Baxter was rated #1 as the most attractive MLB mascot.
Fredbird has been part of the team since 1979, making him a familiar face for many.
“He’s been a constant presence at Busch Stadium—dancing on dugouts, cracking jokes, and keeping the energy up. With his bright red feathers and unapologetic confidence, there’s something low-key attractive about him,” the site wrote in the news release.
