Roobarb
Designed by the creator of the Phillie Phanatic, the yellow Roobarb was part of a pair of Chicago White Sox mascots, along with his counterpart Ribbie. 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, when Dan LeMonnier, who portrayed Roobarb, got married, Gary DeVar, who played Ribbie, was the best man at his wedding. LeMonnier went on to later play Benny the Bull, mascot of the Chicago Bulls of the NBA.
