Sourdough Sam has been a staple for the 49ers since the mid-1990s.
It’s 60 and sunny when I cross the county line into Santa Clara, home of the San Francisco 49ers. It’s Christmas Eve, and I’m headed to Levi’s Stadium to watch the 49ers face off against the Washington Commanders.
We meet near the entrance of the stadium where he is posing for photos with game-goers in front of a banner reading ‘Faithful to the Bay.” San Francisco fans are called the Faithful – capital F – a moniker that began in the '80swho hopped on to cheer for Joe Montana but hadn't been there for the franchise's dark moments.
He runs out of the tunnel greeting an already half-packed stadium and I run after him, stunned by his athleticism. You would think with his heavy Santa suit and even heavier head, he might have to move slowly. Most of the time, though, I have trouble keeping up as he shuffles backward, busting a move and scaling the bleachers to greet adoring fans.
When I ask what makes him special, she says, “Everything… How many mascots you know who can breakdance?”
