He's Number One!

The Phillie Phanatic was named the number one sports mascot according to Forbes magazine's sports marketing department. The contest was scored based on consumer responses in eight attributes: appeal, aspiration, awareness, endorsement, influence, notice, trendsetter and trust.

The Phanatic edged out the World Famous San Diego Chicken, who finished second, and Mr. Met, who came in third.

My inside sources tell me that Mr. Met was actually in the lead late in the competition, but in true Mets fashion choked away the lead, allowing the Phanatic to claim the crown.
