He didn't get to play yesterday. See if you can
play today and win. Dibbs has got a name of
a mascot. You tell us what major League Baseball team

underwear and a T shirt on. It's like, dude, put
some shorts on.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
But Clark doesn't even have the underwear. Yeah, he doesn't

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yes, congratulations Sean, Stay on hold, you're going to the
for Town Fair. My favorite Major League Baseball mascot that
doesn't wear pants.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
So annoying that he doesn't wear pants.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I am annoyed by it.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Run around the forest around here, look, put up pats on.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So I do know it's Clark Avenue. That's a part
of the corner that Wrigley sits on. Clark and Addison,
So I do believe that's Waiver Lawyer gets his name.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Will Willison around there a couple of other things. It's
like you hit a home run out on some avenue.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I usually go by bar I usually go by that
right next to the cubby bear. Make a right, Hubby
Bear have been in there a few times. Yeah, that's
how we do. What's the Goose Goose Island? Go to
the Goose Island Brewery. Make a left? Has happened?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I love day games because you do the cakes and eggs.
I remember when I was at the Bristol ESPN and
the National Radio with Dan Patrick. So we first we
got into Chicago's Market and we went out there and
did the seventh inning stretch.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Actually had to do the take me.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Out to the ballgame because Dan didn't want to do it.
All I know, but this is while Harry was still alive.
And when you're at all of those establishments for breakfast, yeah,
they're also pounding beers.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's like it's nine am. Suck it up, let's go.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
When you're twenty one years old or older and you're
going to a Cubs game and you go three hours
before the game, it is hard to get to your
seat without being drunk, and without trying. You don't even
have to try it, like, how did I just have
five beers already?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Friendliness happened well.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And the thing was also too.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You're there in hot sun and you're hanging out and
you're with your friends and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And Lady Jim Fry didn't like you people.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Don't you have jobs?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Job somewhere to be eight six, two three, seven, seven six.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Those which Waveland Avenue, it's Clark Street, Addison Street, Waveland
Avenue and Gary Sheffield Avenue.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Those are the four streets around the ball and I go.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I do Addison because of the Blues Brothers ten Sixtyison.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That is right. All right, let's get some more contestants here.
Eight six, three, seven, seven six. Who's next? All the
way down south to Fred Fred in Florida. Are you
doing Fred? We're doing well.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Do you have pants on? Unlike Clark?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah? Fred? Are you wearing pants right now? Yeah? That's
all I'm wearing? Their story all right? Warm down? Yeah,
I know it's eighty seven right now for the girl.
He's flexing for everybody as he's down there. Excellent stuff.
All right. We've got a mascot for you, sir, tell
us the Major League Baseball team. This this mascot represents
and you are a winner?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Are you a Fred?
Speaker 4 (07:23):

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Wow shows over at six thirty about the Giant. I
don't even the Yankee, all right, Fred, Yes you are?
Perhaps it might be down the docket are Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
There's a lot of seals around that stadium.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You got it, man, lou seal. I don't know if
there it looks like a Giant seal, but is a
loo part of the Giant's history other than just you know,
we need a name for seals. And Lucile is like
sitting there in our face.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Lucille ball b from the Bay Area.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You might be onto something there. You might be onto something.
Give Fred some four Town Fair tickets, hook him up
and there's no A lot of people are probably thinking
Fred's googling down there. He's already on Fox Sports ninety
seven nine dot com, listen on the free iHeart website
listen live button. Fred doesn't know how to google while
he's listening online. There's no way hell, Fred even knows
(08:39):
how to open up another tab. At the same time,
he doesn't know anything about that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So here with that. And he's living the life of
retirement down there.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So Fred's a mailman, not an email man. With the
worst joke that was the bad one of the bunch.
Put that in the file of bad jokes of the month.
All right, I three seven, work on it. Who's next,
Curt Will Will? What's up? Well, hey guys, I'm gonna
try again, see if I can win. All right, Will's back?
(09:10):
All right, Well you know how this works. Dipson has
got a name. You tell us what major League Baseball
team this mascot represents, are you right? Will Ye Will?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Bernie Bernie Hey, Brewers, b Rockies, see Diamondbacks, nail well,
Bernie Brewer.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Will stay on hold? Hook will up with some four
Town Fair tickets. Yes, Bernie the Brewer. I hate this dude.
He runs down the annoyed me too. Really, he was
ultra annoying when he come out to the bullpen. Now
he has a huge mustache, right, it looks, but he's
supposed to look like some guy that's, you know, holding
(09:56):
some beers and stuff, and he's sliding down the giant
beer stein and he's a big drunk. The guy was annoying.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
And by the way, mascots aren't supposed to talk, and
he always wanted to talk.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Hey, guys, it's Bernie. I just want to talk shop here.
I thought i'd rob a couple of balls there outside
and need to be better with your prey placement. All right,
I'm out of here. I'm going to drink.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Be surprised the mascot had all the uh, all the
all the answers to our our ills back then.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I've been watching every game. I've been here for three years.
I've seen three hundred games.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You should come come down the slide during the game
with me.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Tell you what. It relaxes the nerves.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Like Bernie, get back up on your slide before we
like smack the crap out of get out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
We're and here's the thing that Bernie didn't even know
we were.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
We were betting on the sausage race because so they
had the scores up there all the time. So guys
are like calculating and looking because I played with some
pretty smart guys when I was playing in Milwaukee, and
they're like, Okay, well, you know this guy hasn't won
in a week. I think I'm gonna put some money
on that. Yeah, the brought worse sausage and all that kind.
(11:01):
These guys, you're so bored out in the bullpen, there's
nothing to do.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
You bet on the sausage race.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
All right, we got room for one more here surt
eight six five two two three seven seven six. So
you got Steve, Steve, what's up, Steve?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Guys going?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well? We got room for one more winner here on
the four Town Fair. We've got a name for you.
It's a mascot Major League Baseball mascot. You tell us
the team this name represents, and you are a winner.
Are you ready? All right, let's try to win.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
All right? Steve, Billy.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yankees mascot, Marlin's mascot or Rangers mascot.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Was the last one.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
The Rangers. Billy. I would have to say, the Yankees
answers in his name too, Steve, he's Billy the.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Marlin, the Marlin. He's like kind of like the moon
guy from McDonald's. That's just what I think of because
of the shape of his head.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
You gotta go back and watch this mascot thing with
Aj Burnett. AJ's pitching for the Marlins. The pickup truck
is going by behind home plate. AJ who threw a hundred.
He throws it right through the window of the pickup
truck and nearly kills Billy the Marlin.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I don't think Billy Marlin notices.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I don't think he does either, because I don't think
Billy could see really well out of that Marlin outfit.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
First of all, what a stupid look on this dude.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Dude, and then oh my god, Billy again as annoying mascots,
go Billy the Marlin right up there with the up
from the expos. That guy he was just he was
so like into himself.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Are they still running him out there?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Absolutely? Absolutely. I haven't seen him in a while, and
little kids are terrified of him. He's got a giant
like sword for nose.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
It could somebody, absolutely, And I don't think he realizes,
like noses in your face all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Kurt says, we have no more we have no more room.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
You go.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He's like, go to break. Wally was also on the
docket today. Everybody should know Wally the Red Stick.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Wally the Red Sox is his sister's Tessie sister. So
we figured this out. They're not dating.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
It's weird if you see them at the ballpark at
Yankee Stadium or nine dating brother sister, brother sister, and
you are correct. I don't think the Yankees have ever
had a mascot.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Anybody, Nick Henry, anybody think I don't think the Yankees
have ever had a mascot.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Some of these man like you don't see him, Like
Billy the Marlin kind of stays in hiding until about
the fifth inning and then he pops out. It's not
like he's gonna get much TV time. Same with the
stupid Bernie the Brewer unless he's hitting a home run
going on the slud. No one carries Brewers games anyway.
Why would you, especially if you don't live in Wisconsin,
so nobody sees these things anyway, So I wouldn't be
surprised there's some Yankee running around. I don't know what
(13:55):
would it be. I imagine it being like a guy
in a suit in at top hat. I don't have
no idea why. I think. I think the Monopoly man
we have a monocle.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
And Yankees had a mascot for two years nineteen seventy
nine and nineteen eighty one. His name was Dandy. He
was this weird Yankee doodle Dandy guy.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Bring him back, Bring back Dandy and.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Dandy was created by Bonnie Erickson and Wade Harrison and
least to the Yankees from Acme mascots. How was that even?
And so these guys also created Philly Fanatic.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Really yeah, so there's a whole.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Dandy quietly retired in nineteen eighty one and everybody has
refused his existence ever since.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Sounds like we need it. It's an ugly mascot, Dandy revive.
Oh you got a picture.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, it's a really ugly mascot, poorly done.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It kind of looks like they put bleach on Grimace
and then it didn't kind of take and there was
like some blue streaks.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So it's not like a human with like a red,
white and blue Uncle Sam out fit top hat or
anything like that.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That's okay, first of all, like the Reds. But mister
Red has a mustache.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
He got a baseball head, does Dandy.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
How He's got a tiny head and a big fat
body like the like the Philly Fanatic, but he's also
got a giant mascot ear to ear mascot our mustache.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Excuse me.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
And remember there's always been a facial hair policy with
the Yankees. It has to be groomed really nicely. So
there you go, that's what it was. You know what
George Steinbrenner didn't like it. To get that thing off
the field.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I say we bring it back, man, I say we
you know, we buy a couple of series tickets back
to back. Have like a weak stretch of where Dandy's
running around you.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
If you tried hard could find the mascot outfit.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I got a weird little tidbit from this Dandy thing.
They put Dandy on hiatus because they thought after Thurman
Munson was lost that he kind of looked like it.
So they sat him down because with the facial hair there.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Was red mustache, right, and.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
They're like, he looks like Thurman until we got to
take them out.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
And isn't the Yankee doodle Dandy kind of a Southern
thing or was that a Northern thing?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I think it's the Southern song.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Y.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I love this. I think we should bring it back.
I think the look is great. I think it looking
it's really bad and stupid looking always then you'd like
them to bring it back.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I don't care, because you have Wally test I can
make fun of enough things about the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Make fun of your mask.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I'm gonna do my dandyest to bring back Dandy.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
All right, we'll take quick break, will come back. Brandon
Lang joined US earlier.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
He will handicap a bunch of college football and NFL
games for you next

Speaker 1 (07:57):
You got it, man, lou seal. I don't know if
there it looks like a Giant seal, but is a
loo part of the Giant's history other than just you know,
we need a name for seals. And Lucile is like
sitting there in our face.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Lucille ball b from the Bay Area.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You might be onto something there. You might be onto something.
Give Fred some four Town Fair tickets, hook him up
and there's no A lot of people are probably thinking
Fred's googling down there. He's already on Fox Sports ninety
seven nine dot com, listen on the free iHeart website
listen live button. Fred doesn't know how to google while
he's listening online. There's no way hell, Fred even knows
(08:39):
how to open up another tab. At the same time,
he doesn't know anything about that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So here with that. And he's living the life of
retirement down there.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So Fred's a mailman, not an email man. With the
worst joke that was the bad one of the bunch.
Put that in the file of bad jokes of the month.
All right, I three seven, work on it. Who's next,
Curt Will Will? What's up? Well, hey guys, I'm gonna

(09:10):

got a name. You tell us what major League Baseball
team this mascot represents, are you right? Will Ye Will?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Bernie Bernie Hey, Brewers, b Rockies, see Diamondbacks, nail well,
Bernie Brewer.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Will stay on hold? Hook will up with some four
Town Fair tickets. Yes, Bernie the Brewer. I hate this dude.
He runs down the annoyed me too. Really, he was
ultra annoying when he come out to the bullpen. Now
he has a huge mustache, right, it looks, but he's
supposed to look like some guy that's, you know, holding
(09:56):
some beers and stuff, and he's sliding down the giant
beer stein and he's a big drunk. The guy was annoying.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
And by the way, mascots aren't supposed to talk, and
he always wanted to talk.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Hey, guys, it's Bernie. I just want to talk shop here.
I thought i'd rob a couple of balls there outside
and need to be better with your prey placement. All right,
I'm out of here. I'm going to drink.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Be surprised the mascot had all the uh, all the
all the answers to our our ills back then.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I've been watching every game. I've been here for three years.
I've seen three hundred games.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You should come come down the slide during the game
with me.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Tell you what. It relaxes the nerves.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Like Bernie, get back up on your slide before we
like smack the crap out of get out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
We're and here's the thing that Bernie didn't even know
we were.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
We were betting on the sausage race because so they
had the scores up there all the time. So guys
are like calculating and looking because I played with some
pretty smart guys when I was playing in Milwaukee, and
they're like, Okay, well, you know this guy hasn't won
in a week. I think I'm gonna put some money
on that. Yeah, the brought worse sausage and all that kind.
(11:01):
These guys, you're so bored out in the bullpen, there's
nothing to do.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
You bet on the sausage race.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
All right, we got room for one more here surt
eight six five two two three seven seven six. So
you got Steve, Steve, what's up, Steve?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Guys going?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well? We got room for one more winner here on
the four Town Fair. We've got a name for you.
It's a mascot Major League Baseball mascot. You tell us
the team this name represents, and you are a winner.
Are you ready? All right, let's try to win.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
All right? Steve, Billy.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yankees mascot, Marlin's mascot or Rangers mascot.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Was the last one.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
The Rangers. Billy. I would have to say, the Yankees
answers in his name too, Steve, he's Billy the.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Marlin, the Marlin. He's like kind of like the moon
guy from McDonald's. That's just what I think of because
of the shape of his head.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
You gotta go back and watch this mascot thing with
Aj Burnett. AJ's pitching for the Marlins. The pickup truck
is going by behind home plate. AJ who threw a hundred.
He throws it right through the window of the pickup
truck and nearly kills Billy the Marlin.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I don't think Billy Marlin notices.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I don't think he does either, because I don't think
Billy could see really well out of that Marlin outfit.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
First of all, what a stupid look on this dude.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Dude, and then oh my god, Billy again as annoying mascots,
go Billy the Marlin right up there with the up
from the expos. That guy he was just he was
so like into himself.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Are they still running him out there?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Absolutely? Absolutely. I haven't seen him in a while, and
little kids are terrified of him. He's got a giant
like sword for nose.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
It could somebody, absolutely, And I don't think he realizes,
like noses in your face all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Kurt says, we have no more we have no more room.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
You go.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He's like, go to break. Wally was also on the
docket today. Everybody should know Wally the Red Stick.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Wally the Red Sox is his sister's Tessie sister. So
we figured this out. They're not dating.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
It's weird if you see them at the ballpark at
Yankee Stadium or nine dating brother sister, brother sister, and
you are correct. I don't think the Yankees have ever
had a mascot.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Anybody, Nick Henry, anybody think I don't think the Yankees
have ever had a mascot.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Some of these man like you don't see him, Like
Billy the Marlin kind of stays in hiding until about
the fifth inning and then he pops out. It's not
like he's gonna get much TV time. Same with the
stupid Bernie the Brewer unless he's hitting a home run
going on the slud. No one carries Brewers games anyway.
Why would you, especially if you don't live in Wisconsin,
so nobody sees these things anyway, So I wouldn't be
surprised there's some Yankee running around. I don't know what
(13:55):
would it be. I imagine it being like a guy
in a suit in at top hat. I don't have
no idea why. I think. I think the Monopoly man
we have a monocle.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
And Yankees had a mascot for two years nineteen seventy
nine and nineteen eighty one. His name was Dandy. He
was this weird Yankee doodle Dandy guy.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Bring him back, Bring back Dandy and.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Dandy was created by Bonnie Erickson and Wade Harrison and
least to the Yankees from Acme mascots. How was that even?
And so these guys also created Philly Fanatic.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Really yeah, so there's a whole.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Dandy quietly retired in nineteen eighty one and everybody has
refused his existence ever since.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Sounds like we need it. It's an ugly mascot, Dandy revive.
Oh you got a picture.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, it's a really ugly mascot, poorly done.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It kind of looks like they put bleach on Grimace
and then it didn't kind of take and there was
like some blue streaks.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So it's not like a human with like a red,
white and blue Uncle Sam out fit top hat or
anything like that.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That's okay, first of all, like the Reds. But mister
Red has a mustache.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
He got a baseball head, does Dandy.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
How He's got a tiny head and a big fat
body like the like the Philly Fanatic, but he's also
got a giant mascot ear to ear mascot our mustache.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Excuse me.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
And remember there's always been a facial hair policy with
the Yankees. It has to be groomed really nicely. So
there you go, that's what it was. You know what
George Steinbrenner didn't like it. To get that thing off
the field.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I say we bring it back, man, I say we
you know, we buy a couple of series tickets back
to back. Have like a weak stretch of where Dandy's
running around you.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
If you tried hard could find the mascot outfit.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I got a weird little tidbit from this Dandy thing.
They put Dandy on hiatus because they thought after Thurman
Munson was lost that he kind of looked like it.
So they sat him down because with the facial hair there.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Was red mustache, right, and.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
They're like, he looks like Thurman until we got to
take them out.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
And isn't the Yankee doodle Dandy kind of a Southern
thing or was that a Northern thing?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I think it's the Southern song.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Y.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I love this. I think we should bring it back.
I think the look is great. I think it looking
it's really bad and stupid looking always then you'd like
them to bring it back.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I don't care, because you have Wally test I can
make fun of enough things about the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Make fun of your mask.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I'm gonna do my dandyest to bring back Dandy.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
All right, we'll take quick break, will come back. Brandon
Lang joined US earlier.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
He will handicap a bunch of college football and NFL
games for you next
