The Chicken was the one that started the mascot craze. Without him there'd be no Phillie Phanatic. I remember that the San Diego Chicken was barred from performing due to trademark infringement, so he reinvented himself as the Chicken and hatched out of an egg in front of thousands.

On a local note the side show at the Harrisburg Senator game last night was the Burning Man. After the game he completely ignited himself at home plate and ran the bases. As he approached third, he was heavily sprayed with additional lighter fluid that turned him into a massive fireball as he slid into home.
