Mascot

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    What species he is remains a mystery (a human/animal fusion perhaps).
    The University of South Alabamaalso has a mascot named Southpaw.
    Really, does a sports mascot need his own Twitter account? (what's he gonna tweet - couldn't get out of my costume before I peed myself?).
    He doesn't have a uniform number, just a star on the back of jersey below his name.
    White Sox fans who don't like him or his kind need to head north, where the Chicago Cubs (as well as the Yankees and Dodgers) are the only MLB teams (as of 2010) without mascots.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His lime green-yellow fur combo is kinda cool in a psychedelic way.
    He is infinitely more popular with fans than the duo of mascots the White Sox had in the 1980s - Ribbie & Roobarb.
    His name works on two levels - 'southpaw' is a baseball term for left-handed, and he plays for Chicago's South Side baseball team.
    He was around for only a year when he got to celebrate a White Sox World Series victory with the team in 2005.
    He got to ride on a float in Illinois for Barack Obama's presidential inauguration.
    His services can be secured for birthday parties, weddings, school assemblies, etc.
    Anyone (thing?) that's had to deal with Ozzie Guillen for as many years as he has deserves sympathy.
