We will race you: Mercury an MLB UK mascot

MLB

The London series between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox will feature a giant mascot race with a British spin.

Winston Churchill, Freddie Mercury, King Henry VIII and the Loch Ness Monster will race around the warning track at London Stadium. The four were chosen by fans who voted on four categories of notable Brits — cultural icons, legends, historical figures and monarchs.

Mercury beat out Shakespeare and John Lennon in the voting.

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, will attend Saturday’s opener and will accompany competitors from the Invictus Games onto the field to throw out the first pitch.

The Kingdom Choir, which stole the show at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018, will perform the national anthem on Saturday.
