How did they ever get the costume so quickly? The Mariners added Jimothy, the Seattle raccoon with the spinal deformity that was discovered last week to the Salmon races.
The salmons race during Mariner home games. A funny and fun event.

Jimothy the raccoon is Seattle’s ultimate hometown hero, proving that a short spine and zero neck are actually the peak aerodynamic build needed to dominate a major league baseball field. After going completely viral for his unique, ultra-rotund physique, the Ballard-neighborhood legend made his big-league debut as a surprise guest mascot in the Seattle Mariners 7th-inning Salmon Run race—and he actually won. Jimothy didn't let short spine syndrome hold him back. He stepped up to the plate and became a professional undefeated athlete. Before Jimothy took the field, the Mariners offense was on a 12-inning scoreless streak. Right after his win, they pulled off a 4-3 comeback victory, proving his roundness is pure magic. He joins the ranks of vintage Seattle weirdness like the Fremont Troll. He’s brought the city together so much that he already has tattoos, murals, and a planned community festival in Ballard. Wildlife experts say he is thriving and adapting flawlessly. Jimothy shows us that being built a little differently just means you're built to stand out. Who knew that having your head attached directly to your hips was the optimal build for track and field? King, Silver, Sockeye, and Humpy never stood a chance against a rolling boulder. He is the only runner in the race who didn't just want to win the Salmon Run—he actively wanted to take the salmon home and eat it out of a dumpster. Move over traditional mascots, Jimothy is the short-king representation baseball desperately needed.
