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. Turn the page for more!

VICTORIES FOR VETERANS Brandon Marchioni

“MY VICTORY IS BEING HERE FOR MY FAMILY.”

MASCOTS (cont'd):

• The San Diego Chicken made his debut in 1974, but not at a Padres game. The chicken first made appearances at the San Diego Zoo, concerts, and other sporting events before first performing at the Padres stadium in 1977. A 20-year-old college student named Ted Giannoulas first donned the suit at the Zoo for $2 an hour, and is still playing the part. This fowl character doesn’t limit his appearances to Padres games, but works independently around the world, having made more than 17,000 appearances, with 8,500 of them at sporting events in 917 different arenas in all 50 states, four continents, and eight countries. Giannoulas has worn out more than 100 chicken suits. • The Philadelphia Phillies introduced the Phillie Phanatic in 1978, a furry green creature designed by puppeteers who had done work for Jim Henson. The Phanatic can be seen on the roof of the Phillies dugout at the seven-and-a-half inning stretch, performing The Phanatic Dance. He also shoots hot dogs into the stands using a pneumatic gun. • According to legend, Wally the Green Monster, the furry mascot of MLB’s Boston Red Sox, lived within the Green Monster wall from 1947 (the year the wall was painted green) until he emerged from inside in 1997. Named for the 37ft., 2-inch left field wall at Fenway Park, Wally wears Red Sox jersey No. 97, the year he emerged from the Wall. • The only “human” mascot in all four major North American sports cheers on the Minnesota Vikings. Ragnar the Viking exits the tunnel on his motorcycle, wearing his Norse attire. It may well be that Ragnar will be retired soon as Joe Juranitch, who has played the part for 21 years, has asked for a rather large increase in pay, from $1,500 per game in the 2015 season to a hefty $20,000 per game.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* Many people don’t realize that the parachute was invented before the airplane. The first person to use a parachute and survive was LouisSebastien Lenormand, who jumped off the tower of the Montpelier Observatory in 1783. * If you’re planning to take a cruise this summer, try to remember to use your right foot when you take your first step aboard; it’s considered bad luck to step aboard with your left foot. * You might be surprised to learn that in Russia, there are laws that prohibit the production, import or sale of lace panties. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

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.

MASCOTS (cont'd):

• NFL’s Tennessee Titans chose their state animal as the mascot of their team. T-Rac is a raccoon who dresses in Titan garb and has frequently zip-lined into Nashville’s Nissan Stadium to cheer on the team. • Four NFL teams have no mascot – the New York Giants, the New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, and the Green Packers, although thousands of Packers fans don cheeseheads for their team’s games. The most recent team to add a mascot was the St. Louis Rams, who added Rampage in 2010. Rampage will be on the move back to Los Angeles for the 2016 season. • Three Major League Baseball teams also have no mascot – the Angels, the Dodgers, and the Yankees. • Detroit Red Wings hockey fans have been throwing octopuses onto the ice since 1952, when two brothers who owned a fish market did it for the first time. The eight tentacles of this cephalopod represent the eight wins it took to win the Stanley Cup at that time. (It now takes 16 wins.) When the Wings scored a perfect eight, the octopus became the official mascot, named Al after their arena building operations manager Al Sobotka. Al has been updated a few times, including the removal of a tooth so that he had a “hockey player” look, as well as the addition of a Red Wings jersey to his body. And what is Al’s jersey number? Why, 8, of course! • Each time the Olympics are held, the mascot symbolizes the host city. In 1968, Grenoble, France was the first city to have a mascot for the Winter Olympics, a little man on skis named Schuss. The 1972 Munich Olympics featured a dachshund named Waldi, and the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games introduced a bald eagle named Sam. The first Olympic mascot couple appeared at Calgary’s 1988 Winter Games. Hidy and Howdy were polar bears chosen after a contest sponsored by the Calgary Zoo brought in 7,000 entries. Most recently, the Sochi, Russia Olympics featured three mascots, a hare, a polar bear, and a leopard, symbolic of the three places on the Olympic podium. Turn to next page!

• Bailey the Lion is the mascot of hockey’s Los Angeles Kings, named in honor of the team’s Director of Pro Scouting, Ace Bailey, who was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Prior to Bailey’s reign, the Kings had a snow leopard named Kingston. Bailey wears the No. 72 jersey, not as a tribute to any Kings player, but because that’s the average annual temperature in Los Angeles. • Although mascots contribute to entertainment, enthusiasm, and team spirit, they are also the source of multimillion dollar income for a team in sales of souvenirs and team-related merchandise. • Exceptional mascots are inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame, created in 2005 by the original Phillie Phanatic. Originally an online-only organization, the city of Whiting, Indiana, agreed to construct a permanent Mascot Hall of Fame on the shores of Lake Michigan. Only mascots in place for at least 10 years are eligible for induction. Inductees include Mr. Met, Rocky of the Denver Nuggets, the Phoenix Suns Gorilla, Jazz Bear of the Utah Jazz, the San Diego Chicken, and, of course, the Phillie Phanatic. • Do you have a hankering to become a team mascot? San Antonio, Texas, is home to a Professional Mascot School, where for $250, you can learn the essentials of being a pro mascot.

-- A blistering hot day that came out of nowhere was a good reminder about stocking up on sunscreen for summer. Right on time, Consumer Reports has released information in their July 2016 issue indicating that we need to beware: The SPF (sun protection factor) on the label might not be what we actually get when we use the sunscreen. Consumer Reports tested 60 sunscreens -- stick, lotion and spray -that were supposed to be rated at SPF 30 or higher. Unfortunately, 43 percent of them turned out not to have what was on the label. A few even tested at less than 15, half of what was promised. This problem isn’t only for this year; Consumer Reports has found the same results over the past four years.
