Re: Final Jeopardy! Clues
In this context the definition of chief is listed as “most important, principal.
Then use this http://sportmascots.com/mlb/swinging-fr ... go-padres/
Furthermore, the chicken has never been the official mascot of anything. 40 years ago when he was performing at most Padres games, you might have an argument. But it’s a rarity that he appears at a Padres game nowadays. A mascot that barely appears can’t be considered a chief mascot.

Re: Final Jeopardy! Clues
Is there another mascot that has supplanted it as the chief mascot, though? If it appears at 3 games per year and there aren't any other mascots, guess which one is the chief mascot?Golf wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 2:09 pmIn this context the definition of chief is listed as “most important, principal.
