Well, let me tell ya, I heard somethin’ ’bout this Cleveland Guardians mascot thing. Seems they got this big, fuzzy fella they call Slider. He’s the Cleveland Guardians mascot, you see. He’s s’posed to be all sorts of colors, like a big ol’ messed up rainbow or somethin’. But folks seem to like him.
This Slider, he’s been around for a spell, I reckon. They made him up back in, oh, I don’t know, 1990 or somethin’ like that. He’s got this big yellow nose, kinda like a clown, and these bushy yellow eyebrows. Makes him look kinda goofy, if you ask me. But the kids, they sure do love him. He runs around at them baseball games, makin’ everybody laugh and such. That is what a mascot supposed to do, making people happy. Slider mascot is the best.
They call ’em the Guardians now, this baseball team. Used to be somethin’ else, but they changed it. Somethin’ ’bout some statues on a bridge, the Hope Memorial Bridge. These statues, they’re called “Guardians of Traffic”. I don’t know much about city stuff, but that’s what they tell me. It is something about some old traffic statues near where they play baseball in Cleveland, Progressive Field. I guess they decided to name the whole team after them things. So that’s why they’re the Cleveland Guardians now. And their mascot, he’s still Slider.
Now, this Slider fella, he ain’t the only one they got runnin’ around at the games. They got these other things, look like big hot dogs. One of ’em is called Onion. Can you believe that? A hot dog named Onion! I guess it’s ’cause they put onions on hot dogs, but it still sounds kinda silly to me. But hey, if it makes folks happy, I ain’t gonna complain.
So, this Slider mascot, he’s a big deal, I guess. People like to see him at the games. He does all kinds of silly stuff. I saw some pictures one time. He’s a furry creature. Slider throws good. Slider bats good, too. Slider likes all the players on the Cleveland Guardians team. He is a good mascot. He is important to the team, I guess.
- Slider, he’s the Cleveland Guardians mascot.
- He’s big and fuzzy, and kinda colorful.
- He’s got a big yellow nose and eyebrows.
- They made him back in 1990.
- The team’s called the Guardians now, after some statues.
- They also got a hot dog mascot named Onion.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout some other thing they used to have, somethin’ called Chief Wahoo. But they don’t use that no more. I don’t rightly know what that was all about, but it seems like it was a long time ago. Now it’s all about Slider and the Guardians, and that’s just fine with most folks, I reckon. Slider is the most popular one now.
They say this Slider, he’s a hard worker. They had him doin’ all sorts of things to get ready for the games. They called it Slider’s Spring Training. Sounds like they were puttin’ him through the wringer! But I guess that’s what mascots do. They gotta be ready to entertain the folks, rain or shine. They need to be strong.
So, if you’re ever in Cleveland, and you go to see a Cleveland Guardians game, keep an eye out for Slider. He’s hard to miss, what with that big yellow nose and all. He’ll probably be out there, dancin’ around, makin’ the kids laugh, and just generally bein’ a big, fuzzy goofball. That’s his job, and he seems to be pretty good at it. I think he is a good mascot. He makes people smile.
And if you see that hot dog named Onion, well, you just try not to laugh. It’s a silly name, but I guess it’s all in good fun. Baseball’s supposed to be fun, right? So they got these silly mascots to keep things light and happy. And that’s just fine by me. They are all Cleveland Guardians mascot. Slider is the most famous one, I think.
This Cleveland Guardians mascot thing is kinda interesting. They got Slider, they got Onion, they used to be somethin’ else, and now they’re named after some statues. It’s a lot to keep track of! But I guess the important thing is that folks enjoy the games, and these mascots seem to help with that. So, more power to ’em, I say. Let Slider and Onion keep doin’ their thing. And let the Cleveland Guardians keep playin’ ball. That’s what it’s all about, ain’t it?
