Dodgers fan in a bear costume ejected after dancing on the Cardinals dugout

"Wait," you might be saying. "I didn't know the the Los Angeles Dodgers had a mascot. And why is it a bear?"

Both valid questions from anyone who saw the dancing, cheering bear in a Dodgers jersey at Monday night's NLCS Game 3. The bear got a tiny bit of TV time, but as you can see in the video above, fans at the game saw a lot more of him. Doing the splits on the opposing team's dugout? Solid move.

Here's the thing: The Dodgers don't have a bear for a mascot. They don't have a mascot, period. And that explains why the person in the bear costume was ushered away by security. Let it be known, folks, you can't just show up at a baseball game and start mascotting, BYO-bear costume be damned.

Let's remember the good times with the Dodgers' air-catching unofficial mascot. And just look how much Dustin Hoffman is digging the show.

Someone might see these antics and think they're the work of jokester. But we know what was really afoot here. Behold:

MANBEARPUIG!

That bear showed up Monday with a purpose. To activate Yasiel Puig. Is it a coincidence that the night the dancing bear showed up Puig broke out of his NLCS slump? Of course it's not.
