Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle honored

Saginaw Spirit mascot Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle was ranked as the second-best mascot of 2006 by Gameops.com.

Steagle competed with Major League Baseball's Tampa Bay Devil Rays' "Raymond" for the title.

The Raptor from the NBA's Toronto Raptors won first place.

“If Steagle is number two, a question I have is who can beat him and be number one?” stated Spirit managing partner Craig Goslin. “We are very proud of his accomplishments and grateful to Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report for assisting Steagle to be perched to the pinnacle of his profession."

Steagle came to the Spirit in September 2006, joining Sammy Spirit in representing mid-Michigan's OHL franchise. Steagle is named after Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report.
