== Mascots ==
The Springfield Cardinals have two mascots. Their first and main mascot is a brightly colored red bird named Louie. He has been a mascot for the team since its formation in 2005. He is the "little brother" of [[Fredbird]], the mascot of the [[MLB]]'s [[St. Louis Cardinals]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=At Work: Louie |url=https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2014/04/05/work-louie/7355341/ |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=Springfield News-Leader |language=en-US}}</ref> Their second mascot is a fluffy dog named Fetch. He is a fluffy [[beagle]] received by Louie as a birthday gift on Opening Day in 2006. During home games they can be found entertaining fans by tossing t-shirts and taking photos. When the team is on the road, Louie and Fetch attend local events in the community.
