I was going to post how lame mascots are and that Harvey should be legitimately retired.
Then I read your post and it reminded me of how, as a child, I absolutely loved Ralph the Dog. I remember seeing him in the mall and him leading me on in the "Dee! Fence! chant while my Mom looked on, puzzled as she had never been to a Stamps game.
I now feel completely different and want Harvey to live on - I'm not the target audience, I just turned into a crusty old fart.
I hope to lose some of the crust and the memory evoked by that should help.
