Frosty the Snowman? He was a jolly happy soul, not a jolly old soul. Close though.
Of course “Santa” is the answer, like we haven’t heard the “snowballs at Santa Claus” joke a million times. At least Jeopardy had the decency to note that Frank Olivo was plucked from the stands to play St. Nick. Any bit of nuance helps defeat the various fake news narratives that have spread through the sports world since 1968.
Olivo died back in 2015 FYI. I think most people know the story by now, but his obituary was shared by ESPN and other outlets. By all accounts he was a good dude and a committed Eagles fan.
