Atlanta Braves Mascot Brings on the Barbie Fever as Diamondbacks Series Ends With a Win

Atlanta Braves’ 2023 season has seen much fanfare as the team dominates the League. Although they encountered some harsh results in recent weeks, the team tops the MLB chart with 62 wins, with Ronald Acuna Jr. leading. But most recently, the team overcame a 4-game losing streak while their mascot brought in the Barbie fever.

With their most recent win, the Braves finished the series against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a win. This ended a 4-game losing streak for the team as they prevented a slide. But despite the win, their mascot Blooper grabbed the spotlight as they took inspiration from the Barbie movie.

A picture of Blooper has been trending as the large furry creature took inspiration from the Ken doll. MLB Life took to Twitter and shared a picture of the Braves’ mascot in a pink t-shirt with a green fanny pack. In a Tweet, they said, “It’s safe to say the Braves mascot Blooper is ready for the Barbie movie 😂😂 #BarbieTheMovie”.

The Braves were able to pick up a 7-5 win after losing four games in a row. Furthermore, on a good note, it closed out the series against the Diamondbacks. Ronald Acuna Jr. has drawn the best player in the league remarks for his play. This was not the first time that the Blooper has stolen the spotlight.

Blooper Has Gained Fans’ Love in Recent Years

Blooper was introduced as the Braves’ new mascot way back in 2018. The idea behind his creation is that he was a by-product of science running amok.

Although he found it hard to draw fans’ love in the first couple of years, from 2020 to 2021, supporters started to accept him. Now the furry creature is a beloved fixture at home games and can be seen waving to fans, taking pictures, and supporting the team. 

This most recent pink appearance was his way of channeling the Barbie movie. What do you think of the Atlanta Braves mascot’s actions?
