Homer is the mascot of the Atlanta Braves. He has a baseball shaped head and is the brother of Rally. Some fans have noted that Homer looks like the mascot of the New York Mets, Mr. Met. Others call Homer a knockoff of Mr. Red, since the Cincinnati Reds mascot originated (at least in graphic form) before Mr. Met. Before having the baseball head however, Homer was the personifacation of the old "Screaming Warrior" logo the Braves used before dropping it in 1988 due to political correctness.
Homer's full name is Homer the Brave. This is meant to sound like "home of the brave", the last words of the National Anthem.
