Marcianos de Lajas

Lajas Martians

League: Betances.
Division: Suroeste.
Nicknames: Cósmicos, Alienígenas, OVNIs, Tirapiedras, El Universo.
Vivas: “¡Pa’ la luna!”

Since neither of the other two main claims to fame of Lajas—pineapples and a bay full of bioluminescence—are especially fearsome, in baseball terms, the team chose to take their name from what is apparently a very long-term obsession with extraterrestrial life.

Mascot: Galaxígena

(galaxia “galaxy” + alienígena “extraterrestrial”)

If aliens wanted to guarantee we'd welcome their invasion, they'd design someone like Galaxígena, the mascot of the Marcianos de Lajas: an adorable little green creature, with spouty antennic ears sticking out the top of its head, big black eyes with green pupils contained in yellow irises and little white stars, and it has been grafted onto its own spacecraft, which is steel-gray, with little yellow-green lights at the end of each of its five plates. Except that can't actually be a graft, because its own steel feet sit just below—or are they somehow the ship's fins?
