MASCOTS (continued):
• Each time the Olympics are held, the mascot symbolizes the host city. In 1968, Grenoble, France was the first city to have a mascot for the Winter Olympics, a little man on skis named Schuss. The 1972 Munich Olympics featured a dachshund named Waldi, and the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games introduced a bald eagle named Sam. The first Olympic mascot couple appeared at Calgary’s 1988 Winter Games. Hidy and Howdy were polar bears chosen after a contest sponsored by the Calgary Zoo brought in 7,000 entries. Most recently, the Sochi, Russia Olympics featured three mascots, a hare, a polar bear, and a leopard, symbolic of the three places on the Olympic podium. • Although mascots contribute to entertainment, enthusiasm, and team spirit, they are also the source of multi-million dollar income for a team in sales of souvenirs and team-related merchandise. • Exceptional mascots are inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame, created in 2005 by the original Phillie Phanatic. Originally an online-only organization, the city of Whiting, Indiana, agreed to construct a permanent Mascot Hall of Fame on the shores of Lake Michigan. Only mascots in place for at least 10 years are eligible for induction. Inductees include Mr. Met, Rocky of the Denver Nuggets, the Phoenix Suns Gorilla, Jazz Bear of the Utah Jazz, the San Diego Chicken, and, of course, the Phillie Phanatic. • Do you have a hankering to become a team mascot? San Antonio, Texas, is home to a Professional Mascot School, where for $250, you can learn the essentials of being a pro mascot.
