Sacramento River Cats

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 office, Dinger was all they could talk about. He was gentle and kind but seemed a bit lonely. It wasn’t long before Dinger showed up at the ballpark.
As it turned out, he was a huge baseball fan and always dreamed of being a baseball player. It was evident that he had a passion and love for baseball and entertaining young fans. His energy and fun personality were a perfect fit, and the River Cats wasted little time in making Dinger the official mascot of the Sacramento River Cats.
