Here's one the New York Times tells
about Charley Faust, the most fam
Gus mascot in the National League:

time a moscot for the Giants because
there was no logical way of prevent

That was because Mr.. Sullivan didn't

a mountain with much speed. He
came all the way from California to
get the medal and to see that his rec
ord was placed on the a. 4. L. record

TO have made IS getting easy money
from the Giants when he was a mascot.
