The Miami Maniac (often shortened to just The Maniac) is the official mascot of the Miami Hurricanes baseball program at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida.
Created in 1982 by visionary College Baseball Hall of Fame head coach Ron Fraser in 1982 and originally performed by John Routh, the Miami Maniac has been a constant at Mark Light Field ever since.
The Miami Maniac has an anthropomorphic body with an orange fur on most of his body, combined with patches of green on his head and nose. He usually wears a University of Miami baseball jersey with the number 1/2 on it.
The Maniac is only the official mascot of Hurricanes baseball; the University of Miami's other teams are represented by Sebastian the Ibis.
