Giants Fans Desperately Want To Get Crabs
This image was lost some time after publication. In 1984, the San Francisco Giants, back when the team was terrible and the sports information was wacky, introduced the Crazy Crab, a satirical mascot meant to skewer the concept of a mascot all together. The notion was that Crazy Crab was an anti-mascot, one that would take the abuse of fans frustrated with a lousy Giants team. It worked, too: Crowds and fans alike took turns pummeling poor actor Wayne Doba (who was also in Scarface! — with drinks and food.
