The Explorer from La Salle University in Philadelphia is a great mascot. He doesn’t get enough press because of some of the city’s other historic mascots, but he’s good at what he does.

“Gnash” from the Nashville Predators does an amazing job. He gets my nomination.

I would have to nominate “Red” from Arkansas State University. He has only been in the mascot realm for a little over three years and has already skyrocketed himself to become a household name across the country. He has some of the funniest and most original skits I’ve ever seen and I have yet to see a dull moment go by whilst watching him perform!

I would like to nominate Stuff the Magic Dragon from the Orlando Magic. He is not only the best looking dragon of all time, but he is also the craziest, funniest, smartest, quietest, fattest, best dragon ping-pong player, fastest dragon swimmer, best dragon ice fisherman, and should also be nominated for President and/or Prom King. I don’t know any dragon like him! You can visit his totally sweet website at http://www.nba.com/magic/mascot/stuff_court.htmlor email him at stuff@orlandomagic.com
If not him, I want to vote for the Utah Jazz Bear.
Thanks,
STUFF - um, no, I mean a friend of STUFF

We all know that Raymond from the Devil Rays is truely gameops.com’s 2007 mascot of the year. Raymond shames other mascots with his presence…just ask the Orioles Bird

I think Baxter from the Arizona Diamondbacks should win best mascot. He is funny and very energetic. Baxter does things a little different compared to other baseball mascots.
