Realignment, but by Mascot

[calsnowskier]

I was listening to sports radio, and the hosts were playing a stupid game. They were putting together a 16-team NFL tournament of Mascots, and they were making 4 brackets of similar groupings. I think they went with Birds, People, Criminals and something else (I wasn’t listening too closely as my imagine wandered into doing this post).

So here is the project…

Realign the MLB, but ignoring rivalries, geography, market size, etc. Just go by mascot. Feel free to use an organizations previous mascots if needed, but try to keep that to a minimum. Use whatever format you like, but I will use the existing 6 divisions of 5 teams format.


“Seafaring”
Pirates
Mariners
Rays
Marlins
Brewers

“Physically Gifted”
Dodgers
A’s
Twins
Rangers
Rockies

“Men of Prestige”
Royals
Nationals
Mets
Yankees
Braves

“Heavenly Beings”
Padres
Angels
Guardians
Giants
Astros

“Animal Kingdom”
Orioles
Tigers
Phillies
Cubs
DiamondBacks

“Rainbow”
Reds
Cardinals
White Sox
Red Sox
Blue Jays

Certainly some logical gymnastics to get all teams represented, but I think it is a decent alignment. Other ideas?

Why are Brewers seafaring? I thought it just meant people that make beer.

How can you possibly get on a boat without beer?

Remember my comment about logical gymnastics?
