SEATTLE — As the summer of Jimothy, the oddly shaped raccoon from Ballard that became an internet sensation, continues, the Seattle Mariners have officially joined the party.
The Mariners will tip their cap to Jimothy on Aug. 5, hosting a special “Jimothy Night” at T-Mobile Park when the team faces the Detroit Tigers at 6:40 p.m.
Fans must buy through the ‘Jimothy Night’ offer to score the exclusive tee
The special Jimothy ticket offer will include an exclusive Jimothy T-shirt with $2 of every ticket sold benefiting the Ballard Food Bank.
“Celebrate the internet’s favorite raccoon and Ballard native with an exclusive Mariners x Jimothy T-shirt,” the Mariners stated.
Due to the first “Jimothy” night officially selling out, the Seattle Mariners added a second “Jimothy Night” on Friday to celebrate the celebrity raccoon.
“New date added!” the Seattle Mariners announced. “Our Jimothy ticket special on Wednesday, Aug. 5 has sold out, but you’ve got another chance to score a Mariners x Jimothy T-shirt on Friday, Aug. 7.”
Fans can redeem their exclusive T-shirt by bringing an eligible ticket to the top of the Right Field Ramp before the end of the third inning. The giveaway is only available to those who purchased through the “Jimothy Night” offer, with sizes available on a first-come, first-served basis.
“It’s officially ‘Hot Jimothy Summer,’” the Mariners stated.
For the second Jimothy Mariners night, it will act as a double-whammy for special events, as not only will Jimothy be celebrated, but it’s also the Alumni Home Run Derby.
“Commissioner Ken Griffey Jr. will host an epic postgame competition as Ichiro and other former Mariners Sluggers swing for the fences at T-Mobile Park,’ the Mariners stated.
The alumni home run derby is scheduled to take place after the game.
