The Phillie Phanatic is the official mascot for the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team. He is a large, furry, green creature with an extendable tongue. He performs various routines to entertain fans during baseball games at Citizens Bank Park and spring training, and makes public relations and goodwill appearances for the Phillies.

The Phanatic is widely considered the best as well as one of the most recognizable mascots in North American sports.
