He’s here! He’s tall! He’s Horatio! He’s the wisecracking mascot of the Lake County Captains. This cormorant learned a lot about baseball while in his egg and his new pal Skipper schooled him on the rest! A voracious learner, this sly seabird is hep on everything Captains and pop culture, old and new!

Skipper is the official mascot of the Lake County Captains and a familiar face around the ballpark. A lifelong baseball fan, he loves cheering on the Captains, meeting fans and making every trip to Classic Auto Group Park a little more memorable. If there’s baseball and fun to be had, Skipper won’t be far away.

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.
