Youppi! is alive and well

"Youppi! will stay as part of the Quebec heritage," says Expos executive VP Claude Delorme. "He was first created in 1979, and people really identify with him. We wanted him to have some continuity, and we have had some negotiations with companies interested in acquiring his rights. We're getting real close."

That's right. You read correctly. Youppi! is for sale.

And not just his costume, but the entire concept of Youppi! -- the mascot, the image and the legend. Montreal's real le Grande Orange can be yours if you meet the right price and the right conditions.
