Mack the Knight, the official mascot of the Corvallis Knights, appears at every home game and at events throughout the year in Corvallis and the surrounding area. He’s the Knights biggest booster and enjoys meeting and interacting with Knights fans of all ages all around Goss Stadium, or at other events throughout the year. Lil’ King is also an official mascot of the team, and he can be seen at Mack’s side during games and community appearances.
Mack welcomes fans into Goss Stadium, escorts the first-pitch participant to the mound, high-fives the Knights as they take their positions, and joins our coaches and players along the third-base line during the Star-Spangled Banner. He’s kind of a ham and he especially likes having his picture taken with Knights fans.
Mack and Lil’ King are constantly on the move during the game. They assist the interns with our between-inning promotions, cheer on the contestants, and sometimes even participate in the fun! They lead in the singing of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch and then escort fans out of the stadium after the game, after racing all the kids in the ballpark around the bases!
