Ribbie (mascot)

Designed by the creator of the Phillie Phanatic, the purple Ribbie was part of a pair of Chicago White Sox mascots, along with his counterpart Roobarb. The duo was introduced in 1981, shortly after Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn bought the club, and continued to appear at games through 1988.

In 1987, Gary DeVar, who played Ribbie, was best man at the wedding of Dan LeMonnier, who portrayed Roobarb.
