Editing Youppi! (section)

=== Claude Hubert (1985–1991) ===
Claude Hubert was involved with mascots for around 20 years; he worked for many Canadian sports teams, such as the [[Montreal Dragons]] and the [[Montreal Machine]].

As Youppi, Hubert was responsible for the first and only incident wherein a mascot was expelled from a Major League Baseball game. As Youppi, Hubert hopped on top of the away team's dugout during an Expos v. Dodgers game and, following continued antics, was confronted by [[Tommy Lasorda]]. (Hubert claims to have already known of Lasorda's distaste for mascots following his infamous "tussle" with the [[Phillie Phanatic|Philly Phanatic]].)<ref>{{Cite web |title=No love lost between Phanatic, late Lasorda |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/phanatic-s-history-with-tommy-lasorda |access-date=2023-07-03 |website=MLB.com |language=en}}</ref> After the scuffle began to escalate, [[Bob Davidson (umpire)|Bob Davidson]], the umpire during that game, made the decision to eject Youppi, who was eventually readmitted following chants from the crowd and a promise to remain on the Expos' side of the field.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How did a mascot get ejected from a game? |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/mascot-gets-ejected-from-game |access-date=2023-07-03 |website=MLB.com |language=en}}</ref>
