My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
That may have been the most hated mascot in the history of mascots!
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

The biggest bust in Yankees history was 7 feet tall, made $40 every home game and spent most of his brief career in the upper deck.
From 1979 to 1981, the Yankees employed a mascot named Dandy. He was big and blue and a spectacular failure—a historical oddity for a proud franchise that has collected 27 world championships but would just as soon forget he even existed. Which, to be fair, isn't terribly difficult to do.

Suddenly, the Olympic mascots don't seem so bad.

He was the mascot for "The Flats" in Cleveland in the 80's

What a fascinating read.
What I find most remarkable was that it wasn't the Yankees who refused to renew the contract, but the Ericksons.
I can remember Skip Caray on WTBS making fun of that thing. I think the fans did attack at least once because they hated it so much.

Strange I could have sworn their mascot was named Benjamin.

Pretty rich considering the sourceI can remember Skip Caray on WTBS making fun of that thing. I think the fans did attack at least once because they hated it so much.
