You Can Vote for the Iron Pigs’ Hambone as the International League’s Best Mascot

The Iron Pigs, you may not know, actually have a couple of mascots who run in the so-called Great Pork Race. They are are hotdog (Diggity), a piece of bacon (Chris P. Bacon), and a baked ham (Hambone). Hambone hardly ever wins the race, but he’s in the running for the International League’s best mascot.
The voting is being done over here, and you’ll immediately notice a few things:
1. Hambone is a little terrifying
2. Every other mascot (except one) is basically some kind of animal with a jersey and hat
3. That one without a jersey wears a blazer with no shirt underneath, and I can’t support that
So vote Hambone, because his team has a better win percentage than the Phillies, but just barely. Also, I cannot stress how much I do not stand for wearing no shirt under a blazer. Get your shit together, Lou Seal. Nice name though.
