Buccaneer (baseball mascot)
- Buccaneer (baseball mascot)
The Buccaneer was a secondary mascot used by the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball club during their 1995 season. While the team's primary mascot, the Pirate Parrot, wore an elaborate costume with a prosthetic head and molded frame, the Buccaneer was simply a man in pirate's garb who led the crowd in organized cheers. The Pirates discontinued the use of the character after his portrayer was caught skinny dipping in a closed public pool during the 1995 All Star break.
