The ‘Jimothy’ Mania Hits T-Mobile Park
Remember that Mariners 4-2 win against the Detroit Tigers on August 5th? Our M’s secured that victory, but it was also the day they celebrated “Jimothy” in style! That’s when this lucky 13-year-old fan got her hands on the viral raccoon’s unique card. Who knew that keepsake, handed out amidst the cheers and the crack of the bat, would turn into such a monumental windfall? It went from a cool souvenir to an absolute treasure in record time!
Education Funded by Raccoon Power!
That single, ultra-rare card went up for auction on eBay, pulling in an incredible twenty grand, one hundred dollars. Seriously! Her family confirmed to Sofia Schwarzwalder of the Seattle Times that every single dollar from that sale is heading straight into her college fund. Forget scholarships, this kid’s got “Jimothy” power funding her tuition! It’s an unbelievable story of a fan getting a truly life-changing boost.
