Each night after I put on my old timey time pajamas and stocking cap and say my prayers I lay in bed and think about Mr. Padre, Tony the Gwynn, slapping baseballs into left field until I fall asleep.
Last week I was wondering if fans from other teams had their own special Mister. Today I thought I'd do some research for you and find out each team's OFFICIAL mister.
I hyperlinked the nickname when I found it on the team's website or in an official publication. The others are guesses based on Google searches that refer to the player as a mister. Let me know if I have any wrong or if you can fill in any blanks for me.
