BY MARGARITA MARTIN-HIDALGO Staff Writer What is it? A lion? A bear? A dog? No ! We aren't really sure of what it is... but it drives the fans wild at the games. It's UM's Miami Maniac, the mascot of the Hurricanes baseball team. The Maniac turns 14 this year, and although it's not UM's best-known mascot, it's an important part of 'Canes baseball. Its No. 1 duty: filling fans with pride over their beloved 'Canes. The Maniac springs around the diamond spreading cheer, emotion and laughter. The fans join the Maniac as it spells "C-A-N-E-S," and when they finish the spelling, their lungs burst forth an enthusiastic "CANES!" The Maniac became a member of the baseball team in 1982. Jeff Warner, a UM graduate, and the local Jaycees teamed up to create the multi-animal mascot. Ron Fraser. then 'Canes baseball head coach, and Rick Rammert, promotions director, were consulted, and it did not take long for the Maniac to be adopted as baseball's mascot. The 6-foot-tall Maniac has terribly furry and wild orange and green hair, huge feet and a long nose. Children love the Maniac; they stand in line for an autographed picture and ask for the privilege of petting it or shaking its hand " I think it [the Maniac] is great entertainment for people, tt helps make the game be more fun," said 'Canes fan Richard Coldrige, an elementary stu­ dent from Fort Myers. The Maniac has served as the official mascot JL A#""^ for the College World Series and has traveled fl • nationwide, performing at special events. &a\ ^^^a The Maniac has become a cherished tradition of ^^^ the UM community, which salutes the mascot on its 14th birthday and thanks it for its devotion to the baseball team and the fans: GO MANIAC!
