The Phillies aren't my team, however, imo the Phanatic and the San Diego Chicken are the two best professional team mascots of all time.
The Nittany Lion is, of course, #1 overall in our hearts and minds, pro and college, forever and ever, amen. I'm saying that with some homer humor, but I truly believe that the Nittany Lion is the best of all I have seen at the college level. The Phanatic and the Chicken have a bigger budget and more toys to play with, but our Lion can bring it.

Certainly better than Stanford's tree Akron's roo, or Sammy the Slug.
