The RiverDogs also have a new fan-friendly president, Mike Veeck, son of legendary baseball showman Bill Veeck. The lovable team mascot, Charlie, signs autographs outside his dog house. He even has his own ice cream, RiverDog Ripple, that turns your mouth purple. Admission is free to these wooden bat, summer league parks, and families bring picnics for dinner after a day at the beach. These are college-age players and they're friendly and accessible to the fans.
Kids get free treats for returning foul balls.
Kids can help wag the tail of its famous snorting bull on good plays, or turn on its red eyes and smoking snout for home runs. There's a kid's playground beyond the third base line in this impressive baseball cathedral. Games are popular, so try to buy tickets down the foul line at first or third base in advance. Kids have their own concession stand and there's a barbershop behind home plate. Young fans find it fun to deposit refuse in a walking Trash Monster.
