Chicago White Sox - Mascots

Mascots

From 1961 until 1991, a lifelong Chicago resident by the name of Andrew Rozdilsky, popularly known as Andy the Clown, performed as the unofficial yet popular mascot for the White Sox at the original Comiskey Park. In 1981, Rozdilsky was permitted to only perform in the upper deck and concourse; when the final season for Comiskey Park came, Andy the Clown was asked to leave. From 1981 until 1988, the White Sox employed a twosome, called Ribbie and Roobarb, as their team mascots. However, they were generally unpopular among the fanbase, who saw the characters as an attempt to replace the previous mascot. In the early 1990s the White Sox had a cartoon mascot named, 'Waldo The White Sox Wolf' that advertised the ‘Silver and Black Pack’, the team kid's club at the time. The team's current mascot was introduced in 2004 as SouthPaw.
