West Virginia Power

Chuck is the mascot for the West Virginia Power. They play in the South Atlantic League and are an affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. They are located in Charleston, West Virginia, and play their home games at Appalachian Power Park which opened in 2005 and seats 4,500 fans.

Chuck is a rare specimen. Chuck appeared at Appalachian Power Park shortly before the 2005 opening. Initially, Chuck served as a translator of the Pirate language so the Power could talk to the Pirates from Pittsburgh. Chuck holds several records, including most hotdogs eaten on Family Buck Night (87). Fastest time in the IHOP pancake race (7). And most fans entertained (millions) in his free time.

Chuck enjoys strolls along the concourse and watching Animal Planet. He stands 5'11” and weighs 168 pounds. He is a switch hitter and thrower. He was born January 15, 2004 in Charleston, West Virginia.

Legend has it that Chuck originated around the same time that the Power began their affiliation with the Pittsburgh Pirates. However, behind closed doors, Chuck has always been a fan of the Seattle Mariners.
He owns size XXXL Jerseys of Ichiro Suzuki, Felix Hernandez and more. Since his public debut, the lovely 'thing' has become a national icon in the Kanawha Valley due to his massive dance skills, dreamy eye patch and his incredible people skills. Some of Chuck's career accomplishments include being the sole founder of the 'loaded-tots' menu item, brining smiles to millions of West Virginia Power fans and recording the quickest time in the Sudden Link Dash (5.2 seconds).

Chuck’s favorite game to play with the kids is Hide N Seek. He’s very good at finding people, but not very good at hiding because his yellow skin makes him stick out.

Favorite Food: The Loaded Tots at Appalachian Power Park concession stands
Favorite Colors: Blue, Black, Yellow and White
Favorite Song: Take Me Out to the Ballgame because it talks about one of his favorite ballpark foods, cracker jacks.
Favorite Baseball Moment: The 2019 South Atlantic League All-Star Game at Appalachian Power Park.Favorite Player on the Mariners: Mitch Haniger

Sacramento River Cats

The River Cats play their home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, and are part of the Pacific Coast League. On a cold blustery night 20 winters ago, strange sounds began echoing through the air at the Sutter Health Park (formerly Raley Field) construction site. The odd noises led members of the River Cats’ front office down a path leading underneath Tower Bridge. There, on the bank of the river, was the oddest sight: a distraught and very large cat sitting on a rock. The River Cats’ staff cautiously approached the imposing, yet welcoming feline and asked if they could be of assistance. The cat turned with a large, comforting smile. “Hello, my name is Dinger, and I live here on the river,” he said. “I hope I didn’t scare you. I really love having fun and entertaining people.” When the staff returned to the offic...
