About Mack the Knight
Mack the Knight, the Corvallis Knights official mascot, 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.
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's constantly on the move during the game. He assists the interns with our between-inning promotions, cheers on the contestants, and sometimes even participates in the fun! He leads in the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch, and then escorts fans out of the stadium after the game, after racing all the kids in the ballpark around the bases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Mack the Knight?
Mack the Knight is the official mascot of the Corvallis Knights baseball club. He's big and fierce-looking but in person is the friendliest, most accessible mascot in the West Coast League. Mack loves to cheer for the team and mingle with the fans at Goss Stadium, and he really, really loves to pose for photos with kids and other Knights fans.
How old is Mack the Knight?
Mack likes to keep his age a secret but one thing's for sure, he always stays young at heart and never, ever grows old. He grew up in the Portland area when the Knights played at Mt. Hood Community College, and then packed his bags and moved down to Corvallis four years ago when they relocated here.
Where does Mack live?
Mack lives at Goss Stadium. He has his own area in the Knights' locker room and he's even been known to polish his hitting and base-running skills during the night when no one's looking.
How big are Mack's shoes and cap?
Shaquille O'Neill could borrow Mack's size-13 Nikes! They're big, but they only make him even fleeter afoot. Mack doesn't wear a cap but his helmet is made of the strongest steel possible and could easily deflect any opposing beanballs or errant throws in his direction.
You don't tug on Superman's cape, but can you tug on Mack's cape?
Nope. Mack's as friendly as can be, but he doesn't like anyone tugging on his cape, stepping on his toes, grabbing any part of his body or punching him in the chin, even though it's chiseled like granite.
