Blake Snell is fond of the nickname Snellzilla.

His brothers origniated it, but Blake took it over to use for video game profiles.

The Tampa Bay Rays took advantage of the name and ordered a 40-foot inflatable version as a congragulatory gift to Snell after he won the 2018 American League Cy Young Award.

Well, apparantly Snell loves it so much, he used it for his 2020 Halloween in Seattle.
