McCann Erickson's "Billy the Bear" baseball mascot needs a "rental health day" in this Avis commercial. He bitches about his sweaty costume, the rude fans and his grueling work schedule. The Boston Bruins' guy-in-a-bear-suit would kick this wimp's ursine ass. Hockey: tough, unforgiving. Baseball: Waaaaa, we can't finish the game because it's raining! Actually, all baseball mascots, save one, are already home for the off-season. And the Phanatic will join the rest after the Yankees brush aside the Phillies in Game 6 of the World Series.
