Bernie Brewer enlists help from MLB mascots to keep his title as most followed mascot in sports
Bernie Brewer enlists help to keep Twitter title
Mascots: They are our enormous, smiling, muppet-handed best friends. But just like your cute little papillon when confronted at the dog park, sometimes fierce rivalries are born.
On Tuesday night, a new battle for mascot dominance started when the Los Angeles Kings' mascot, Bailey, went gunning for Bernie Brewer's No. 1 mascot on Twitter ranking:
Please help me become #1 overall sports mascots in Twitter followers. No one wants to lose to the Brewers #NOONE pic.twitter.com/Jsxi8RRkEQ
- Bailey LA Kings (@BaileyLAKings) December 2, 2014Clearly the gloves, or in this case, the oversized heads, are off. Though Bailey did walk it back a little:
@GoldenEagleMU @Bernie_Brewer I didn't say I didn't like him.. I just want to beat him. #itssports
- Bailey LA Kings (@BaileyLAKings) December 3, 2014Rather than go negative with his campaign, Bernie Brewer decided to bank on the mustache-aided goodwill he's built up. Not only is he going to Brewers fans:
Well, this isn't very nice. What are we going to do about this, #Brewers fans? #FollowBernie https://t.co/eDqaVDDzAY
- Bernie Brewer (@Bernie_Brewer) December 3, 2014But he's calling on his professional colleagues in the rest of the Majors, too:
@ClarktheCub Can you help me out? Let's keep it in @mlb. #FollowBernie https://t.co/eDqaVDDzAY
