But he was 'hatched' out of a giant egg before their 1979 season opener, which is pretty awesome!

Mascot: 7 His name is 'The Oriole Bird', which seems redundant.

Logo: 6 Not especially creative, but it has a classic look, and I do like the script writing.

Name: 7 Named after the state bird of Maryland.

Mascot: 6 His name is 'Raymond' and he's described as a 'seadog', which is weird but kinda neat!.

Weak - if you don't want the word 'devil' in your name, what's wrong with 'Manta Rays'? 'Rays' referring to a bust of sunshine is just terrible.

Name: 1 Used to be named the 'Devil Rays' (another name for 'Manta Ray'), but then some people objected (I guess? this is unclear) and they renamed themselves the 'Rays', which now refers to a 'burst of sunshine'.

Mascot: 0 One of three teams with no mascot.

Name: 7 The origin of the name is kind of unclear, but, you know, it's a classic.

In another close call, the Minnesota Twins squeeze by the Detroit Tigers.

Mascot: 3 His name is Southpaw which is a reference to the South Side of Chicago.

(also: they swept the Astros in the 2005 World Series, booooo, booooo) Having said that, there's nothing really specific to Chicago about the name, and it will be forever associated with the Black Sox scandal of 1919.

Name: 5 Kind of interesting - they took their name from the now-Chicago Cubs, and they used to be named the White Stockings because the Cincinnati Red Stockings had a 89-game winning streak(!) at one point and a lot of teams were founded with the sole purposes of beating them.

Mascot: 2 His name is Slider and he's a pink blob with polka dots.Logo: 1 Your choices are an extremely generic 'C', which could stand for any number of teams in any number of sports, or a 'controversial Native American caricature'.Name: 2 Generic _and_ somewhat offensive! They should have stuck with 'Spiders'.Mascot: 9 His name is Paws and he's adorable!.I like the Yankees-like script, but that's barely recognizable as a 'D'. Name: 5 The Tigers were founded so long ago there are various rumors as to where they got their name from, but Wikipedia says it was from the Detroit Light Guard military unit (which fought in the Civil War!) Like the Royals, some points for being local in origin, but the name itself is pretty generic.Name: 7 I didn't know that Twins refers to the twin cities of Minneapolis and St.Mascot: 4 On the one hand - his head is a crown! On the other hand, I'm pretty sure he would have given me nightmares as a kid.Not really very baseball-y though, looks like RC Cola. I also added a point because the Royals was the inspiration for Lorde's song 'Royals', which is so crazy I would not have believed it if you had told me that. Fun additional facts: Kansas City only got an expansion team because an angry Senator threatened to get rid of MLB's antitrust exemption. So the name is technically of a local origin but it's so obscure I'm not going to count it. Name: 4 The Royals were apparently named after the American Royal, a livestock show, rodeo, etc.Wow, this was a close division, but the Houston Astros narrowly beat out the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers. Mascot: 8 The Mariner Moose has his own Wikipedia page, and he sounds pretty cool.Logo: 10 It's a compass with a baseball in the center! Nicely done.Random fun fact: the Mariners are owned by Nintendo of America! Name: 7 Specific, but could apply anywhere on any coast.Mascot: 8 His name is Stomper! And the elephant came from a rival manager making fun of the A's and saying the owner had a 'white elephant' on his hands.Name: 4 The name came from an 'Athletic Club', which is pretty bland/non-specific.Mascot: 0 No official mascot, but I guess you can get this monkey in an Angels uniform?.Logo: 8 It's got a halo and a baseball diamond, so pretty good!.

Name: 3 Kinda cool that the movie 'Angels in the Outfield' was about them, but seriously: the 'Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim'? That is ridiculously clunky.Mascot: 9 His name is Captain, and he's a horse! Which took me a minute but I 100% approve.Name: 7 The name is pretty good, but it loses points for laying claim to Texas when they're really from Dallas.Mascot: 7 His name is 'Orbit', which is good, and he kind of looks like he's from outer space? Also, he does this.
