San Diego Chicken aside.

What was the deal with the San Diego Chicken? How did they get a CHICKEN as a mascot. The only connection I can see is quite a stretch: Padre = Friar = Frier = Chicken.

Padre = Friar = Frier = Chicken.

May be a tretch, but still funny as h*ll!

The San Diego Chicken started as a mascot for radio station KGB in the seventies. He broke from the station in the 80's and, after settling a lawsuit, was reborn as the San Diego Chicken. The Chicken as no direct affiliation with the Padres or Chargers. I liked the Friar=fryer thing though.
