NBC Sports put together its mascot power rankings recently.
And is it any wonder that the cool cat who rules the Trop came out on top? Yes, I am talking about DJ Kitty, mascot for the Tampa Bay Rays:
He started as a scoreboard gimmick during the 2010 ALCS, when someone found a cat, dressed him in a Rays hat and tiny jersey, and placed him behind a DJ turntable. In that sense, DJ Kitty is a cousin to the Angels’ Rally Monkey and the Cardinals’ Rally Squirrel …
The Deej beat out a variety of other critters and vegetables to take top prize.
And the kitten has morphed from just a video-based real tune spinning cat to a costumed cat over the years.
