Altoona Curve’s LOCO nominated for mascot Hall of Fame

The Altoona Curve’s mascot, LOCO, was nominated for induction into the Mascot Hall of Fame’s 2025 class.

Voting opened this past weeekend at mascothalloffame.com and runs through May 24. The 2025 inductees will be announced in June.

Each of the 28 candidates announced by the Mascot Hall of Fame have been recognized for more than a decade of excellence, energy and commitment to their communities.

Joining LOCO on the ballot this year includes several other minor league and major league mascots, including the Pirate Parrot.

LOCO has entertained fans for 10 seasons, emerging when Steamer, the first mascot, was on his farewell tour in 2015.

LOCO is part of a group at Peoples Natural Gas Field, including Al Tuna, Trax and Diesel Dog.

He spends extensive time across central Pennsylvania entertaining fans throughout the winter months, appearing at school assemblies, parades and distributing turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving and hams ahead of Christmas. LOCO regularly connects with his old friends at Pirates Fest every January as well as other community engagements.
