From living in Chicago for years, I know a lot of Cubs fans so I was kinda excited for them when I heard the Cubs got a new mascot. Yea well that didn’t last too long. While I think the new bear is cute, most Cubs fans are NOT happy with him. Meet “Clark” and let us know what you think…

The Chicago Cubs listened to their fans and delivered something the franchise has lacked for most of its 138-year history. No, not a World Series championship, their previous being in 1908.
On Monday, the Cubs announced the first official mascot in their modern history — Clark, a “young, friendly Cub” who wears a baseball cap backward and will greet fans as they enter Wrigley Field.
“The Cubs are thrilled to welcome Clark as the team’s official mascot,” Cubs senior director of marketing Alison Miller said in a statement. “Clark is a young, friendly Cub who can’t wait to interact with our other young Cubs fans. He’ll be a welcoming presence for families at Wrigley Field and an excellent ambassador for the team in the community.”
