They Have No Mascot!!! True! The Dodgers do not have any official mascot, but one year they did hire a famous clown to entertain the crowds back at Ebbets field. The year was 1956 and the Dodgers hired Emmett Kelly Sr. as the character " Weary Willie". The story goes that a famous cartoonist was riding home from a Dodger game when the cab driver said " How did the our bums do? So he ended up drawing a cartoon of the Hobo clown in a Dodger uniform and that's how the phrase " Dem Bums" came about. That was the only year that the Dodgers hired a mascot for the games.
