Cameo[edit]

I am adding into the article that he appeared on the Simpsons and as an answer to a question on Cash Cab.--Cooly123 00:14, 11 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs)

I am adding that the Phanatic was a response to a Jeopardy clue in 2022 and that Trebek said he was not a Phanatic fan in 2019. Merlinderhindergrinder (talk) 20:00, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Youppi[edit]

I am removing the link to Youppi from the See Also section as this character is accessable through the list of Major League Baseball Mascots above and has no specific relation to the Phanatic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.116.226.87 (talk) 17:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most recognized mascot?[edit]

"The Phillie Phanatic is the most recognizable mascot in American sports."

The citation is from a USA Today story and seems, without a doubt, entirely subjective. There is no justification for making this kind of statement in an encyclopedia article. If this "fact" were the result of a broad survey, poll, or study, okay -- but it isn't a fact. Just because Yarbrough has a PhD in sports management lends no credence whatsoever to this statement. I am removing it. If someone wishes to return it and rewrite to say something like "Roy Yarbrough, who holds a PhD in sports management, named the Philly Phanatic the most recognized mascot" -- well, it STILL wouldn't work, because once again we're reporting someone's subjective opinion.
