Triumphantly returning to baseball after a 42-year retirement, the Baseball Bug’s new role goes beyond just entertaining the crowd; he will also serve as a mentor to our existing mascots, Skipper and Horatio. The Baseball Bug might not be the fastest mascot, the silliest, or as energetic as he once was. He also may need to ice his knees periodically in between innings. But rest assured, he still has some gas left in the tank to show these two young guns the ropes.
