The Famous Chicken character originated in 1974 in an animated TV commercial for KGB-FM Radio in San Diego. The Chicken, whose antics entertained crowds, began to add appearances at concerts and sporting events, while continuing to perform at more than 520 San Diego Padres games in a row. The success of the Famous Chicken helped lead to mascots becoming widespread throughout professional sports, particularly Major League Baseball. The Chicken was named one of the 100 most powerful people in sports for the 20th century by The Sporting News. The Famous Chicken has hand signed this San Diego 1989 8x10 Photo.
