Let’s talk about one of the most unique mascots in the game—Spruce the Goose. This lovable feathered friend has become a true staple at the Las Vegas Ballpark, known for his t-shirt cannon accuracy and larger-than-life personality. If you’ve ever caught a game there, you’ve probably seen Spruce in action, soaring through the stadium (figuratively, of course!) and adding that extra flair to every event.
Spruce’s Story
Believe it or not, Spruce didn’t start his life in the ballpark. He was born in none other than the famous Bellagio fountains! But once he joined the team, his friends at the Las Vegas Ballpark knew they had to give him a name that matched his unique story. And so, he was named after the legendary “Spruce Goose,” the Howard Hughes aircraft that defied expectations. It’s safe to say, Spruce lives up to his name—bold, impressive, and totally unforgettable.
And guess what? His journey into the world of mascots came through custom mascot design. Street Characters Inc. helped bring Spruce to life, making sure every detail was perfect, from his expressive beak to his vibrant orange feathers. Our custom mascot designs are crafted to stand out and leave lasting impressions, just like Spruce does every game.
Living the Ballpark Life
Spruce’s favorite pastime is, of course, baseball—no surprise there! He’s always right in the middle of the action, hyping up the crowd and showing off his skills with the t-shirt cannon. Spruce’s precision is second to none; if t-shirt launching were an Olympic sport, Spruce would be taking home the gold.
When the day’s done, he’s snacking on his favorite food—ballpark nachos. It doesn’t get more classic than that!
More Than Just Games
It’s not just the 75 games at the ballpark where you’ll catch Spruce. This goose is busy year-round, making over 150 appearances at events throughout the Las Vegas community. Whether he’s rallying up fans at charity events, bringing smiles to school visits, or making surprise appearances at local festivals, Spruce is always on the move! You can follow his adventures on the Las Vegas Aviators social channels and see where Spruce will be flying next:

Not to mention, his favorite color is a bright and bold orange, perfect for standing out on and off the field.
Spruce’s birthday is April 9th, 2019, and if you’re around the ballpark during that time, you can bet there’s going to be a celebration! He might even bring out his hidden talent—mastering the t-shirt cannon—again. It’s all part of the charm that makes him the mascot fans can’t help but cheer for.
