    Back in the day, Q’s alter ego had a non-mascot side hustle with the Sharks (because the Quakes pay so well). He carried a Sharks employee discount card which was accepted at Stanley’s Sports Bar at Sharks Ice. At least a couple times we sat at the bar and watched pointy ball.

    Stanley’s used to be the only place in San Jose you could order Tim Horton’s coffee.

    Judging by her hat, her sleeve-less jacket, her pants and what she’s holding in her left hand, it’s clear that this lady is also a Q fan. :thumbsup:

    Why aren't the Quakes taking advantage of Q's surge in popularity

    I don't know the current inhabitant of Q, but the first guy was fun to hang around with. He was a marine and (as almost everybody who works for the Quakes is) going for a sports-business degree.

    The marine wasn’t the first Q, but he was the one who tangled with Beckham.

    Another Marine could have been the first Q.

    First Q, circa 2004-05, lived in my ‘hood. Don’t recall him mentioning he was a marine.

    This mascot should be in the hall of fame!

    From Wikipedia:

    An unofficial predecessor to Billy appeared at Bills games between 1974 and 1976. This mascot, which consisted of two men in a buffalo suit, had originated when the creators breached security at the Bills' Monday Night Football game and continued to make appearances until Ralph Wilson ordered the character not to be allowed in again

    Perhaps he’ll be inducted during next year’s National Mascot Day on June 17th alongside Q (who’d be MLS’s first inductee). :thumbsup:

    As for this year’s induction announcement on ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) this last Tuesday:




    And in case you were wondering how GMA’s own mascot came to be last year:
