“I fetch so well I had to take it pro. What is baseball but a big game of fetch?”

Louie proudly wears #5, to represent the 5 O’s in the name of his hometown, Oconomowoc. He enjoys the laidback lifestyle of Lake Country… chillin’ on the dock and casting a line from time to time. He’s got style, from his cool shades to the bucket hat and bobber on his collar — he couldn’t be any more Lake Country!

Louie and his home team look forward to bringing you a wildly refreshing “Off the Leash” baseball experience.

Howdy, I’m Louie. My friends call me Slugger. And when it comes to having fun at a baseball game, I’m nothing short of a purebred. Lots of laughs. Plenty of excitement.

Exactly what is a DockHound?
A mutt who loves baseball, Lake Country and winning — in that order. Oh, and I’m also rather fond of Smores. Got any?

What’s your connection to the team?
I had a tryout. Couldn’t hit a curveball or make a throw but I could catch anything within 100 yards. And I always hustled on the basepaths. Not only did I make the squad, they decided to name the team after me. Naturally 🙂 !
