Q (full name: Quakesaurus) is the mascot for the Major League Soccer team San Jose Earthquakes.
Description
Q was a 26 year old human male who fell into a radioactive fissure in the Earth's crust during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. He eventually emerged from the fissure as an unaging furry blue "creature" with a shock of silver hair and was soon afterward taken in by a family in nearby San José.
No longer having a craving for food, he instead developed a craving for fully caffeinated coffee which caused him to shake and have unlimited energy, leading to constant dancing, running and having an overall great time around large groups of people.
As longtime Earthquakes season ticket holders, his adopted family took him to a game where he fell in love with the sport and the team, after which the team's ownership hired him and named him Quakesaurus.
Q loves to have his picture taken with fans and enjoys meeting new friends at the games, especially the children who share his love of soccer.
Trivia
- Q has a similarly furry blue father named Andreas who was publicly introduced at an Earthquakes home game in 2005 just prior to Father's Day.
- On April 26, 2010, Q was one of three mascots featured on KNTV, along with San Jose Sharks mascot Sharkie and San Jose Giants mascot "Gigante". [1]
