The men behind the mascot

Antonio's brother Julio took over as Pepe in 2019, continuing to spread joy among the fans. As mascot, he's always ready to greet fans, pose for photos, and even dance with them – making sure every game is a celebration!

Congraulations Pepe!

In 2020, Pepe Perico took home the title of best mascot in the Mexican Baseball League, besting Kike Conejo (Kike The Rabbit) of the Saraperos de Saltillo. A well-deserved victory for the high-flying parrot!
