You know that unofficial Chicago Cubs mascot that Major League Baseball sent a cease and desist letter to last season? Apparently it didn’t work. The friendly(?) bear known as “Billy Cub” is alive, well and punching dudes in bars for trying to screw with him.
Billy was interacting with fans in a bar outside Wrigley Field over the weekend when some jokester came up behind him and snatched his head off. We don’t know why the thief thought this would be a good idea, but Billy reacted by socking him in the face. He then got into an altercation with another person before exiting the building.
We’re not sure if this was Billy Cub creator John Paul Weier or one of his disciples, but the exchange probably isn’t going to make the Cubs happy. One of the Billy Cub characters has already been accused of using racially-insensitive language and getting into arguments with fans over tips. Bar fights, whether started by Billy Cub or not, are not going to help his case.
