Mascots have been around since the mid-nineteenth century and often serve as ambassadors for sports teams, municipalities, and brands beginning in the 20th century. The word comes from the original French "mascotte' which means 'lucky charm,' or can also refer to a female sorceress. The New York Times was responsible for the spelling of mascot when it published the word, with one 't,' about baseball player Charlie Gallager's teeth and his pension for superstition on June 20, 1886.
Unsurprisingly, these symbols, whether furry, feathery, scaled, or human, should find their day. Alas, we can't figure out why June 17 is the date. The baseball player Charlie Gallager was born in April and died June 23.1924. The Chicago Times first mentioned the word mascot concerning sports on June 18, 1886. It could be about Handsome Dan, Yale's bulldog mascot, the first of its kind and one of 17 known bulldog mascots.
Whatever the reason, one thing is sure. National Mascot Day has no mascot.
