Auggie is the mascot for the Augusta GreenJackets in the South Atlantic League. The GreenJackets are a Class A Affiliate with the San Francisco Giants. This 2019 upcoming season will be their second in North Augusta, South Carolina at SRP Park after leaving Lake Olmstead.

Auggie always dreamed about being a part of the GreenJackets organization. He would watch all the games and see how fun they looked and that just made him want to be a part of it even more. So, one day he got the courage and tried out... for the dance team. This is what he has always wanted to do, and he loves to shake his stinger!

Unfortunately, Auggie did not make the dance team but they saw how excited, motivated, and passionate he was, so they decided to offer him the position of the team mascot! Of course, Auggie gladly accepted and now he wouldn’t want to do anything other than be the mascot!

Now, Auggie spends his summers at SRP Park dancing, of course, and entertaining the fans! We all knew Auggie would still find a way to be able to shake his stinger for everyone! Also, he loves to run around the field and hear the sounds of baseball.

On his off days, Auggie likes to visit a lot of schools and make sure the kids are keeping up with their reading programs. He also likes to sit in the front office and try to sell more tickets than the sales team. After that, Auggie will walk over to the clubhouse and workout so he can stay fit for the season!

Favorite food: Hot Dogs
Favorite Movie: "Ant-Man and the Wasp" (he wants to be an actor when he retires from being a mascot)
Favorite TV Show: Auggie doesn’t watch TV unless it’s when The Masters is happening here in Augusta!
Favorite Song: Shake Your Tailfeather (or stinger)
Favorite Color: Green!

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...
