FRIAR. Hands down. The best.

Well, you’d probably be able to get drunk with both of them, but since with a pirate you may end up stabbed at the end of the night I’ll just go with the padre. Worst he’ll do is a clumsy reacharound attempt at closing time.

Oh, and you can’t discount the taint of the Pirates’ general suckitude.

The friar is the greatest mascot ever. Pure entertainment…..works really hard. Muah!

Isn’t a Swinging Friar the same as a Gay Chicken?

I know California is ahead of their time, but appealing to homosexual fowl is really taking sports marketing to a whole new level. Just can’t believe they missed the co-branding opportunities when they had Piazza last year.

I see what you did here.
You took the two mascots that could potentially pass for child molesters and you bracketed them against each other.

Genius.
