There is no need to make the Gorilla's case for best mascot of all time. It's already in the bag. He defined the mold, set an example and continues to light up fans' faces to this day. His antics have been captured in documentary format for ESPN, where "PTI" co-host Michael Wilbon has repeatedly dubbed the well-known ape as the "only good mascot" in professional sports.
