Least intimidating team mascot

In Japan, ace pitcher Hiroki Kuroda has re-signed with the Hiroshima Carp for an estimated 200 million yen ($2-million). It's the highest salary in team history. "I'm glad to reach the 200-million mark," Kuroda said. "It makes me feel I need to pitch very, very responsibly."

This got me to wondering which major sports team has the least intimidating mascot. Front-row contenders include:
New Orleans Saints
St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals
Toronto Blue Jays
Baltimore Orioles
Minnesota Twins
Boston Red Sox
Chicago White Sox
New Jersey Nets
New York Knickerbockers
Orlando Magic
Pittsburg Penguins
Anaheim Mighty Ducks
Toronto Maple Leafs

But I think first prize has to go to the Utah Jazz. What's less intimidating than a smooth saxophone solo?
