August 3, 200619 yr Adios, Chorizo . . . until next year Published August 3, 2006 Major League Baseball has put the Chorizo back in the freezer. The league had granted the Brewers a special dispensation allowing the character to participate in last Saturday's Sausage Race as part of Cerveceros Day at Miller Park, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Baseball has strict rules for clubs that want to introduce a new mascot, uniform or logo change, including a waiting period of generally 12 to 18 months. So mark Chorizo on the physically-unable-to-perform list until next year's home opener after a slew of national publicity following his unveiling--and third-place finish.
August 3, 200619 yr Banning this thing until next season is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Someone at the MLB office has way too much time on their hands.

Someone at the MLB office has way too much time on their hands. MLB's front office blows. They fined Pierzynski for playing too hard against the Cubs. Have been trying to kill the time-honored practice of brushback pitches and beanballs. Now they're banning the Chorizo. What is the World coming to, when a squirrel can't visit a dinosaur themed world without being mugged by a bunch of prehistoric brats!

August 3, 200619 yr I think it was good of MLB to let Chorizo get a "taste" of life in the bigs. It gave him some much-needed "seasoning" to prepare him for next year, when he gets called up for good.
