Created for the 1984 season, when the Giants were in dead-last place and the vast majority of Giants fans said they didn't want a mascot at all, "Crazy Crab", the pudgy, immobile hamburger with feet became a frequent target of abuse from fans. Crazy Crab was marketed as a satire of prevailing mascots at the time. He was meant to be hated and was perfect in his role as the anti-mascot. They would trot him out once per game specifically to be booed and pelted with peanut shells, the typically small crowds of the time obliged whole-heartedly. He has found renewed fame in the past few years with the Giants trotting him out for the final game at Candlestick and releasing a bobble head version in his likeness.
