SAN DIEGO _ Beneath the outfield bleachers, inside the grounds-crew office, a short 50-year-old man pulled on a pair of yellow tights.

He shrugged into a neon-orange suit.

On went the flat webbed feet, the white gloves and then, lastly, the "piece de resistance," a huge yellow chicken head, its blue eyes round and soulful and as big as baseballs.

A feathery blue comb topped the head.
