Mascots
This is the mascot of the Hanshin Tigers. (FYI=for your information, they are really hot right now!) It`s name is "Tracky." It`s a cute little thing. My hometown baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies, has one of the most popular/famous mascots in American sports. It`s name is the "Philly Phanatic". Philly is short for Philadelphia. Phanatic=Fanatic=to be crazy about something, or someone who is crazy about something. The Philly Phanatic is difficult to describe, but if you look it up on the net I am sure there is a picture somewhere!! Basically, it is a big green furry thing with a big nose. If you have time, why don`t you google it. "Philly Phanatic". Give it a shot and let me know what you think!

Hi Atsuyoshi. Thanks for the comments!
Yeah, the philly phanatic looks a little like Big bird in sesame street, you are right! Just a different color! Big bird is yellow, i think.
Thanks for the link to nara`s mascot. I don`t like that mascot because I think it doesn`t suit Nara. The image, a buddha guy with horns?! That isn`t so cute i think.
