The list goes on and on, but the category that captured our collective imaginations… the one dedicated exclusively to honoring those oversized and usually fur-covered entertainers… Mascots. Really, no really!
We were so intrigued by this commitment to the costumed team and company ambassadors that we invited Dave Raymond, the creator of the Mascot Hall of Fame , to be our guest. Dave also happens to be the original and iconic Phillie Phanatic!

How hot it is in that giant costume.
The Really, no Really mascot should be…???
