Manager Cesar Martin, 42, led a Fisher Cats team that ranked first in on-base percentage (.341) and second in batting average (.259) in the Double-A Northeast League last season. New Hampshire steadily improved throughout the 2021 campaign under Martin, posting a season-best 14-11 record in the final full month of the season.

Mascot Fungo

Fungo the Fisher Cat was born in the woodlands of New Hampshire and has been with the team since the beginning in 2004. He enjoys fishing on Lake Winnipesaukee, eating ballpark food, and spending time in Burlington, VT, listening to his favorite band Phish. Fungo’s favorite cousin, Slider, is originally from Dunedin, FL, but had to come to New Hampshire when he heard about how much fun Fungo was having. They’re joined by Ollie the Golden Retriever, Ram of War, Tooth Fairy and Molly the Molar, and “His Roliness” the Rah-Lee Llama.

Fun

The Fisher Cats’ largest home crowd in franchise history, of 8,903, came on May 26, 2009 against the Portland Sea Dogs. John Smoltz was Portland’s starting pitcher, appearing with the team on a Major League rehab assignment. The righty allowed one run on three hits over three and one-third innings. Portland went on to win the game 5-1. | Manchester was home to the Yankees Double-A affliate from 1969 to 1971.
