‘Insane’ – White Sox mascot compared to ‘prime Randy Johnson’ after throwing impressive pitch

The Chicago White Sox have recently been in action against the Texas Rangers, but their clashes are not what many fans are talking about this week. The White Sox beat the Rangers 11-7 on Tuesday after losing their previous meeting 11-2 earlier this week.

‘Insane’ – White Sox mascot compared to ‘prime Randy Johnson’ after throwing impressive pitch

The Chicago White Sox recently faced off against the Texas Rangers, but it's not their on-field performance that has captured fans' attention. On Tuesday, the White Sox won 11-7 after a previous 11-2 loss. However, their mascot has been the main talking point. The official MLB Twitter account shared a video of the mascot throwing a pitch clocked at 79 miles per hour.

The league commented: "The White Sox mascot looks like prime Randy Johnson. Also underrated that Southpaw is actually a southpaw..." This has sparked a wave of praise from fans. One remarked: "79 in oversized gloves and presumably no warmup is quite impressive." Another asked: "Can he start?" and a third added: "He should start the Sox’s next bullpen game."

A fourth suggested: "Yo, a lot of teams could use this guy on the mound." A fifth exclaimed: "He probably could throw 90 without the costume. Wow!" "Throwing 79 in a mascot uniform is actually insane," commented another. The White Sox will face the Rangers again on Wednesday evening.
