The not-so-bright college mascot was driving across the state to attend the big game. Just outside the city limits he saw a sign, “CLEAN REST ROOMS.” By the time he reached the stadium, he’d cleaned 132 bathrooms.

TIDBITS® CHEERS ON SOME FAVORITE MASCOTS by Kathy Wolfe What’s the mascot for your favorite sports team? This week, Tidbits explores the origin of mascots and passes along some info on some of our favorites, as well as the unusual and unknown. • The word “mascot” has its beginnings in France, with the first recorded use of the French word “mascotte” which translates “lucky charm,” in 1867. Earlier derivations of the word meant “witchcraft, charm, or amulet.” In the mid-19th century, mascottes might have been a lock of hair or a talisman, similar to a rabbit’s foot. • As high school and college sports grew in popularity, schools used mascots to distinguish and set apart their team on the field. In the 1800s, mascots were actually live animals. Professional sports teams didn’t begin using mascots until the 1960s. The New York Mets were the first team to debut a mascot, Mr. Met, a man with a giant baseball for a head, who made his debut in 1962 at the Polo Grounds, the Mets’ stadium at the time. The Mets’ farm team, the Brooklyn Cyclones, have their own mascot, Sandy the Seagull.
