Strike and Sinker love spending time with all of our great fans rooting for the Natural at our Ballpark. Both mascots enjoy attending charitable and school events and binging joy to the kids throughout Northwest arkasas and nearby communities. Both love nothing more than leading the kids every Sunday for out Kids Run the Bases promotion.

Strike, the Sasquatch (Left)

Hailing from the Ozark Mountains, Strike the Sasquatch waited patiently for baseball to come to Northwest Arkansas so he would have a reason to come out of hiding. With the announcement of the Naturals ball team and excited by the unlimited promise Minor League baseball would bring to the area, he left the quiet solitude of the Ozarks and began making his way to Northwest Arkansas and Arvest Ballpark in Springdale.

Favorite food: Hotdogs and fried Oreas. Funnel Dogs, a corndog with funnel cake.
Favorite movie: “Harry and the Henderson's”

Sinker the Lake Creater (Right)

During the winter of 2011 Strike was vacationing at Beaver Lake. While he was fishing he felt a big tug on his line and looked out to see a Lake Creature. After discovering that the creature was named Sinker, Strike found that they shared a common love for baseball and invited Sinker to join him in cheering on his favorite team, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals at Arvest Ballpark.

Favorite movie: “The Natural”
Favorite food: Funnel Dogs, a hot dog on a stick wrapped with funnel cake.
Favorite Royals Player: Strike & Sinker’s favorite player on the Royals is Catcher Salvador Perez. Perez was a former Natural in 2011.

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...
