Today is the first day of the 2011 triple A season. The Tacoma Rainers are opening the season against the Sacramento Rivercats, the triple A team for the Oakland A's. Chris will be sporting his white and blue jersey with #15 on the back! You can follow Chris and all of the games this season on the Rainiers website: Tacoma Rainiers Website. :)
Of course your next questions is what is their mascot? I mean it can't be a mountain can it? Nope, it is a reindeer...because reindeers live in the mountains. Makes sense, kind of. And in case you ever needed to answer some trivia questions about Rhubarb the Reindeer, here is some background info on the big guy! I wonder if his favorite dessert is rhubarb pie? Hmm....
