Description

The San Francisco Giants' first mascot "Crazy Crab" rooted against the crowd, taunting players and fans to distract from the team's lackluster performance. But as the 1984 season went south, the crab quickly became a punching bag for fans who pelted it with beer bottles and batteries. Sweating inside that foam suit resembling a hamburger with claws: classically-trained actor, dancer and mime Wayne Doba.
