Fungo and Slider are the mascots for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, a Double-A Minor League baseball team affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays .
Fungo[]
Fungo, the popular Fisher Cats mascot was born in the woodlands of New Hampshire. He grew up as a “kit”, or baby Fisher, and he enjoyed playing with Fisher Price toys.
His favorite candy is Swedish Fish. He used to spend a lot of time in Burlington, Vt., listening to his favorite band Phish perform live in concert at Nectar’s. His favorite video rentals are “The Fisher King” starring Robin Williams, “A Fish Called Wanda” starring Jamie Lee Curtis, and “The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh” starring Dr. J.
While his main diet consists of hamburgers, hot dogs, and cracker jacks, he enjoys fishing on Lake Winnipesaukee. As the founder of the Fisher Cats’ “Kids Club”, he hopes to promote wildlife education, sportsmanship, good manners, and the card game “Go-Fish”.
Slider[]
Slider is Fungo’s favorite cousin. He is originally from Dunedin, Fla., but had to come to New Hampshire when he heard about how much fun Fungo was having. He loves his new home and has fun attending community events throughout New Hampshire and games at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. More than anything else, Slider loves the Fisher Cats!
Slider is young and athletic-so as New Hampshire’s winter nears its end and the weather begins to warm, Slider gets excited because he knows the season is near! His main goal at games? Adding excitement and energy to each Fisher Cats’ home game. His trademark moves? Flexing his muscles, giving high-fives, and showing off his athleticism.
