Behind the Mask: the Life of a Major League Mascot

Hear from Gregg Wiseburn what it takes to be a major league mascot and the funny stories behind the mask.

Gregg worked as the mascot for the New England Patriots from 2009-2013. He also was a mascot for the New Jersey Jackals, Somerset Patriots, and Trenton Thunder minor league baseball teams and even donned the costume as Talon the Eagle with Carson-Newman College.

You’ll find out the things that fans don’t know: what’s expected from a mascot, famous people he’s met, incredible moments that happened, and how he got the jobs he got.

This program is for adults and teens 16+.
