 Kazoo is the mascot for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a member of the Southern League and an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. They They are based in Pensacola, Florida, and play their home games in Admiral Fetterman Field.

The story starts in early 2012, when the Blue Wahoos were building their bay front ballpark and preparing for their inaugural season. The aquatic creature who lived in the adjacent bay decided to investigate the construction site and immediately fell in love with Pensacola's multi-use stadium and baseball. Since the team did not have a mascot yet and loved his enthusiasm, Kazoo was named the Blue Wahoos' mascot and was given the number "00".

Kazoo is an aquatic creature with webbed feet, fins for ears and always sports his stylish Blue Wahoos cap. When he's not banging on his drum, sliding down railings or scarfing down shrimp po'boys, he can be seen all around the stadium interacting with fans, taking pictures and cheering on his favorite team.

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...
