As if we needed any conformation, Forbes.com has recently named the Phillie Phanatic the greatest mascot in the history of the world. The Phanatic beat out even the very first mascot, the San Diego Chicken. The Phanatic debuted in 1978 heckling opposing teams, riding around on motorbikes, and cheering a-top the dugout. The first man to bring the Phanatic to life was Dave Raymond, University of Delaware's own. This oversized muppet is loved by all and hated only by Tommy Lasorda, they have a past. Thank you Phanatic for always keeping us entertained during the long hot days at the ball park.
