The Gwinnett Braves have picked a mascot and want your help in naming him. 
Inspired by General Beauregard Lee, the well-known
weather forecaster that makes his home at the Yellow River Game Ranch in
Lilburn, the fuzzy, burrowing rodent was the first choice for the face of Gwinnett’s
own minor league team.“We’re pretty pleased to be able to deliver something that has some local ties,”
Gwinnett Braves assistant general manager Toby Wyman said.Wyman said the Gwinnett community didn’t have an opportunity to name the
team, as communities typically do when getting a minor league organization, but
naming the mascot may be the next best thing.“The mascot, for us from the minor league standpoint, is a really important
representation of our brand and our team,” Wyman said. “It will be an
approachable, fun character.”Contest entries can be submitted online at www.gwinnettdailypost.com or by mail
through Aug. 27. Three finalists will be selected by a panel of Atlanta and
Gwinnett Braves staff members and announced Sept. 1. An online poll will then
be conducted to determine the winning name, and voting will conclude Sept. 5.
