Overview
- Seattle announced that Jimothy Night will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 5 at T‑Mobile Park and will give the first 20,000 fans a Jimothy “rookie card” that includes rare chase variants.
- The team is offering a special Mariners x Jimothy ticket that includes a themed T‑shirt and directs $2 from each ticket sold to the Ballard Food Bank, with shirts redeemable at the top of the Right Field Ramp before the end of the third inning.
- The Rocket City Trash Pandas will hold their own Jimothy Night on Aug. 4 featuring a raccoon parade for costumed fans, trash-can–style food service, and Jimothy mask giveaways for children.
- Jimothy rose to fame after a mid‑July Instagram clip by Ballard resident Kiana Hall showed the compact raccoon, which veterinarians say likely has a short‑spine deformity; wildlife officials have urged people not to approach, feed, or crowd the animal.
- Players and the Mariners have already leaned into the meme—Julio Rodríguez and teammates wore Jimothy shirts on July 24 and the club has featured Jimothy in in‑game graphics and a mascot race—highlighting how a local viral moment has become community art, merchandising and fundraising at games.
