Line 185:
** ''Pro teams'' with mascots, however, were more or less unheard of until the Famous Chicken (as he's now known, presumably because he's no longer tied to San Diego and has become a freelance mascot...I think he appeared in a ''Gymboree'' tape I had as a toddler) came about.
* Several colleges use live animals as mascots in addition to the fake ones:
*** Uga the bulldog at U of Georgia.
*** Tusk the pig at U of Arkansas.
*** Bevo the Texas longhorn at U of Texas.
*** Smokey the coonhound at U of Tennessee.
*** Jack the Bulldog at Georgetown U.
*** Peruna the pony at SMU.
* The University of Oregon managed to work a deal with Disney to use [[Donald Duck]] as their mascot.
* Major League Baseball has a bunch of mascots but the most famous are The Phillie Phanatic, Wally the Green Monster (Red Sox), Mariner Moose, the Racing Sausages (Milwaukee), the Racing Presidents (Washington), Mr. Met, Billy the Marlin, and the Pirate Parrot. And then there was also once Youppi! the Expos mascot who is now currently a mascot for the Canadiens.
