More Mascot Madness
We don't yet know whether the Columbus Catfish will have staying power in this town beyond the upcoming South Atlantic League season, but this much is certain:
The Catfish are a force to be reckoned with in the world of team mascots and logos.
The team's logo -- a catfish swining a bat at a Georgia peach attached to a fishing hook -- has advanced to the Elite Eight round of the minor league mascot contest created by CNBC.com reporter Darren Rovell.
Rovell constructed an NCAA tournament-style bracket filled with minor league baseball mascots and has invited fans to vote online to determine the nation's best. Votes can be registered at www.DarrenRovell.com and polling will open again Thursday morning at 9.
Columbus advanced to the final eight of the Minor League Baseball logo tournament by outpacing the Aiken Foxhounds in last week's voting. The Catfish are paired up with a familiar foe in this week's bracket, the Augusta GreenJackets.

We're partial to the Savannah SandGnats. They fly low to the ground (like us) and bite really hard (sorta like us).
I don't know that I'd like to encounter a real Sand Gnat, but it's a great name and logo. The South Atlantic League features some stiff competition when it comes to nickname and logo creativity.
