Abby, 13, shows off her rare Jimothy rookie card after making the one-of-a-kind pull during the Mariners' promotion at T-Mobile Park. | Fox News The Mariners announced July 29 that "Jimothy is taking over" T-Mobile Park as part of a special promotion scheduled for Aug. 5.

The first 20,000 fans through the gates were set to receive a Jimothy rookie card , the team said, with several rarer "chase cards" mixed into the giveaway. Dmitriy Ishimskiy, a Seattle Ballard resident who captured footage of the raccoon and said Jimothy regularly visited his property, told Storyful in July that the animal had quickly become a neighborhood star.

Jimothy became an internet sensation in July after videos showed the small, round raccoon wandering through Seattle's Seattle Ballard neighborhood. "Over the past week, Jimothy has become a local celebrity, and I feel lucky to have captured this moment on video," Ishimskiy said.

Despite his unusual appearance, Jimothy appeared healthy and active, Fox 13 Seattle previously reported.
