Editing Youppi! (section)

===Notoriety===
Youppi was the first mascot to be thrown out of a [[Major League Baseball]] game.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espn.com/blog/sportscenter/post/_/id/75143/this-day-in-sports-the-dodgers-and-expos-play-22|title=This Day In Sports: The Dodgers And Expos Play 22|agency=[[Associated Press|AP]]|work=espn.com|date=August 23, 2010|access-date=August 23, 2017}}</ref> During the [[1989 Montreal Expos season|1989 Expos season]], on August 23 while atop the visitors' [[Dugout (baseball)|dugout]] in the 11th [[inning]], Youppi took a running leap, landing hard and noisily on its roof, and then sneaked into a front row seat.

Youppi was also a frequent joke punchline of notoriously sarcastic [[Atlanta Braves]] broadcaster [[Skip Caray]]. Youppi was also referenced by pitcher [[Bill Lee (left-handed pitcher)|Bill Lee]] during interviews in [[Ken Burns]]'s ''[[Baseball (TV series)|Baseball]]'' documentary.

Youppi is one of only three mascots featured as displays at the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|Baseball Hall of Fame]]. The others are the [[Phillie Phanatic]] of [[Philadelphia Phillies|Philadelphia]], another design by Erickson, and the [[The San Diego Chicken|Famous Chicken]] from [[San Diego Padres|San Diego]].

The Montreal-based political cartoonist [[Terry Mosher]], better known as "Aislin", depicted or referenced Youppi on several occasions, including a prescient 1988 cartoon drawn at a time when the Expos were having a poor season and depicting then-general manager of the Canadiens [[Serge Savard]] receiving a phone call from Youppi, presumably seeking employment.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cartoon - Youppi Calls Serge Savard {{!}} McCord Museum |url=https://collections.musee-mccord-stewart.ca/en/objects/72927/youppi-calls-serge-savard |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230209171256/https://collections.musee-mccord-stewart.ca/en/objects/72927/youppi-calls-serge-savard |archive-date=2023-02-09 |access-date=2023-02-09 |website=collections.musee-mccord-stewart.ca}}</ref>

Youppi was voted to the [[Mascot Hall of Fame]] in December 2019, and was inducted in June 2020. Youppi is the first mascot of a Canadian team to receive the honor.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bengel |first1=Chris |title=Youppi and 'The Orioles Bird' headline the National Mascot Hall of Fame class of 2020 inductees |url=https://www.cbssports.com/general/news/youppi-and-the-orioles-bird-headline-the-national-mascot-hall-of-fame-class-of-2020-inductees/ |website=CBS Sports |publisher=CBS Interactive |access-date=15 December 2019}}</ref>
