Philadelphia Phillies management felt they needed a mascot similar to the Chicken, so they debuted the Phillie Phanatic in 1978. Today, all but three major league teams have mascots. Three of them, the Phillie Phanatic, Mr. Met and Slider, have been inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame. Several others have been nominated since the Hall's creation in 2005.
