Not just legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas, but none other than...the Phillie Phanatic! A Phanatic outfit will be placed on permanent display at the Hall of Fame tomorrow.
Phantastic for Phanatic
I have a complaint, though. I read elsewhere that there are two other mascot outfits at the Hall. One is the San Diego Chicken, which is totally understandable. The other is....Youppi. From Montreal.
How the hell does Youppi get into the Hall of Fame before the Phanatic?!?!?!
Full Version: Another "Phillie" enters the Hall this weekend
Sorry Joe, although the PP deserves his honors, the REAL outrage is the outright, blatant ostracism of the first and possibly only "anti-mascot", Candlestick Park's Crazy Crab

More on the Crab, Phanatic, Chicken (and lots more fun stuff) at the Heckle Depot Site.....

Sorry, but what about MR. MET?!? The oldest extant MLB mascot, I think... He made his "live action" debut in 1964.

The Phillie Phanatic deserves to be in the baseball Hall of Fame PERMANENTLY ... enshrined ... as a member ... not just an exhibit.
He deserves admission for his blood feud with Tommy Lasorda alone.
