Watch: Bootleg Chicago Cubs Mascot Fights Fan at Bar

We are now a week into baseball season, that magical point of the year where the weather becomes nicer, the scent of fresh-cut grass and ballpark hotdogs fill the air, and bootleg mascots trade punches with bar patrons. You know, the classic American traditions.

The footage above features Billy Cub, an unofficial Chicago mascot with a history of harassing fans, freaking out when his fuzzy head is removed by a guy standing behind him at a bar. Punches and shouting ensue.

As baseball fans, we can all feel a bit more comfort in knowing that, somewhere, Abner Doubleday is smiling down on all of us, pleased with what his (alleged) invention has morphed into.
