VIDEO: Cardinals' Jose Martinez Beats Braves Mascot Into Submission

MLB mascots and opposing players have a interesting relationship, and it's mostly filled with hatred. Blooper, the Atlanta Braves mascot, has been the thorn in the side of every visiting team this season; just look at what he did with Manny Machado.
