MASCOT HALL OF FAME

Here’s a hall you can visit without leaving your desk. This online-only hall is the brainchild of David Raymond, who is better known as the original Phillie Phanatic. Since 2005 Raymond and his executive committee, with a little help from online voters, have been enshrining some of the country’s top mascots on the hall’s website. Past honorees include Western Kentucky University’s fabulous Big Red and the always-delightful Mr. Met. (You can access the site via the link above.)
