    The cocky version of the Cubs pantsless mascot.

    Ralphie ran over a visiting player one time, I want to say it was Monte Cozzens, but I don't remember for sure. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

    Pains me to say it but the Calgary Flames mascot, Harvey the Hound, does not get enough credit.

    Though he may be best known for when then Oilers' head coach Craig MacTavish separated him from his tongue.

    Speaking of SEC dog mascots ...
    I thought they only sniffed each other's butts.

    There was a drivl.com post circa 2007, since evaporated, in which a lady did a fine job of calling out the 25 worst college mascots.

    Something like #7 was Brutus the Buckeye, who she said looked like a turd nugget with a kernel of corn embedded in it.

    The original Bernie Brewers was an elderly gentleman who vowed to live in a trailer on top of the scoreboard until the Brewers sold out a game in their first season in 1970.

    They eventually changed it to a crowd of 40,000 or more and he came down after a crowd of about 44,000.

    I suppose it was 1970, but who the hell ever thought it was a good idea to have a 69-year-old man come down from 80 feet or so on a rope?
