Mascot

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He was originally a normal person with a mustache and lederhosen but was replaced by a mascot with a giant foam head.
    He was accused of relaying stolen signs to batters by putting on white gloves to signal a fastball and taking them off for a curve.
    Anti-alcohol activists suggested that his original home run celebration, in which he would slide into a giant beer mug, promoted drinking.
    When the Brewers moved to Miller Park (2001), the beer mug was eliminated with Bernie sliding down a long, curved chute that deposits him on a platform.

Why he might not be annoying:

    The team is named for the process of making beer, the stadium is named for the nation's second-biggest beer company, and your big concern is the mascot?
    He was inspired by Milt Mason, a 69-year-old fan who sat on the scoreboard for 40 days until the Brewers drew their first 40,000-person crowd.
    His current home run slide is accompanied by Bob Uecker's trademark call of 'Get up, get up, get outta here, GONE!'
    Fans began an online petition to bring back the beer mug.
