The Most Legendary Mascot in Sports History – The Chicken

He never hit a home run, threw a pitch, or even made the roster—yet he packed stadiums across America and changed the way baseball entertained fans. This is the untold story of The Chicken—the most legendary mascot in sports history.

In this episode, Bob Burris reveals how a $4,000 gamble on a man in a chicken suit turned into the biggest draw in Denver Bears history. With his father—baseball traditionalist and Babe Ruth-era insider Jim Burris—standing firmly against it, Bob had to call in a few favors to bring the Chicken to town… and it paid off in ways no one could have imagined.

🐔 From slammed fists and shattered glass to sold-out crowds and roaring laughter, this is the story of how one costumed act broke the rules, stole the spotlight, and rewrote the playbook on fan engagement in baseball.
