We love a good baseball mascot race, but these minor league ballpark races are nuts! Racing eyeballs? Racing asparagus? Racing hunks of Wasabi?

A hilarious new photo collection highlights the weirdest, funniest, and most unforgettable mascot races happening in minor league stadiums today. From giant eyeballs wobbling toward the finish line to oversized hunks of wasabi battling for victory, these races prove that minor league baseball fully embraces the absurd—and fans absolutely love it.

One of the biggest reasons these races have become legendary is creativity. Unlike Major League Baseball, which tends to stay polished and traditional, minor league teams lean into local culture, food traditions, and pure silliness. The result is a world where nearly anything can become a racing mascot.
