The announcement was made live this morning with Fredbird present on _Good Morning
America _on National Mascot Day.

Fredbird was selected for induction from a competitive ballot of 28 mascot nominees,
curated by the Mascot Hall of Fame Executive Committee. Over 125,000 votes were 
cast during a spirited two-week online fan voting period in May, reflecting the 
passion and dedication of sports fans nationwide.

Fredbird becomes the 9th Major League Baseball mascot to be inducted into the Mascot
Hall of Fame, joining the Phillie Phanatic, Mr. Met, The Oriole Bird, Lou Seal (
Giants), Orbit (Astros), Southpaw (White Sox), Sluggerrr (Royals), and Slider (Guardians).

World Series. He was a part of World Series Championships in 1982, 2006, and 2011.
In addition to entertaining fans at the ballpark and around the community, he co-
hosts a 30-minute television show, _Cardinals Kids_, with Cardinals broadcaster

Hall of Fame in 2018.
