🚨 HELP NAME THE MUD MONSTERS’ NEW SWAMP-BEAST! 🚨

A BASEBALL-LOVING MONSTER HAS RISEN… BUT HE NEEDS A NAME!

The Mississippi Mud Monsters have unleashed our biggest, scaliest, muddiest, most chaotic team member. He’s got fins, swagger, and a love for baseball that can’t be matched.

BUT—this big, bad, bat-swingin’ beast doesn’t have a name!

And let’s be honest… a legend like this deserves a name that’s just as legendary. That’s why we’re handing it over to YOU, the fans!

PEARL, Miss. (March 7, 2025) — Starting TODAY at 2:00 PM, we’re putting the power in YOUR hands to name the Mississippi Mud Monsters’ larger-than-life mascot. The polls are open, and you get to choose from six monstrous monikers.

THE CONTENDERS:

🐟 FISH – Yeah, yeah, we hear you. “That’s just the word fish.” BUT HE’S NOT JUST A FISH. He’s THE Fish. The most fun, most energetic, most bat-swingin’, crowd-hypin’, belly-floppin’, mud-lovin’ fish to ever hit the baseball diamond. No frills. No gimmicks. Just FISH. If you believe in the power of pure, unstoppable Fish energy, this is the name for you.

🐟 MUDDY – A name with deep Mississippi roots. Sure, he’s a Mud Monster, but this is also a nod to Mississippi blues legend Muddy Waters, whose music shaped American rock & blues. If you want our mascot to pay tribute to one of the greatest to ever do it, vote Muddy!

🐟 MO’ – Short for Monster, but also short for MO’ fun, MO’ energy, MO’ baseball, MO’ dance moves, MO’ ridiculousness. If you’re the kind of fan who always wants MO’, this name is the way to go!

🐟 SLUDGE – This monster crawled out of the Mississippi swamps and hasn’t looked back. He’s tough. He’s gritty. He’s not afraid to get a little dirty in pursuit of victory. Sludge is for fans who like their baseball messy and mean!

🐟 CHOMPS – This fish has one thing on his mind: food. Okay, maybe two things: food and baseball. Always hungry for a win, a rally, or a stray hot dog in the stands, Chomps is a name that’s got BITE!

🐟 BUBBA – Every team needs a Bubba. He’s the guy who starts the wave, high-fives everybody in the crowd, and probably sneaks an extra hot dog when nobody’s looking. If you want a name with big-time Southern charm and mascot-sized personality, Bubba is your pick!
