About Tom

Long-time Phillies public address announcer, Dan Baker, calls the Phillie Phanatic the “most beloved mascots in all of sports.” And who can argue? The Phillies wildly popular mascot has been atop Forbes Magazine’s list of Best Mascots for years and appears regularly on local and national sports highlight shows. He has jammed on stage with rock stars, dined with Supreme Court Justices and has led championship parades down Broad Street. When you go to a Phillies game, it’s hard to miss the Phillie Phanatic. Whether he is on the field taunting the visiting team or leading cheers for the home team, the Phanatic is sure to put a smile on your face.

The man that brings the Phillie Phanatic to life is Tom Burgoyne. He is currently in his 36th season, and has performed in front of over 60 MILLION fans at Phillies home games. Not only that, Tom has suited up thousands of times at appearances locally and around the world bringing the Phanatic’s special brand of humor to sports fans everywhere. He has co-authored two books about the Phillies and a business/leadership book called Pheel the Love – How the Most Powerful Force in the Universe Builds Great Companies, and has authored 17 children’s books about the Phanatic.

A dad of three boys, Tom continues to entertain fans dressed in a furry, green costume, but he also loves to share his story and his message out of the costume, too.
