Corny is the official mascot of the Normal CornBelters! Hatched straight from the heart of corn country, Corny brings high energy, big smiles, and a whole lot of kernels of joy to every game. When he’s not firing up the crowd, Corny can be found dancing on the dugout, photobombing fans, and taunting the opposing team. His favorite activities include high-fives, mascot races, and making sure everyone—young and old—leaves the stadium with a smile.
