FandomD.Baxter The Bobcat is the official account of D. Baxter the Bobcat.
The Bobcat was unveiled to the world on June 23, 2000.The idea for the mascot came from Brantley Bell, son of former second baseman Jay Bell who explained to his dad that the team should have a "BoB" cat as a mascot.Bell told management about his son's idea.
Through his crazy antics and being the most fan friendly mascot in sports, Baxter has won over D-backs Nation and baseball fans everywhere.In addition to his numerous game day responsibilities, Baxter also serves as an ambassador for the D-backs organization, venturing off the field to visit hospitals, schools and other community events throughout the Valley and the state of Arizona.In addition to the D-backs home games, you can find Baxter performing at over 400 appearances over the course of the year.
You can catch the D-backs home games at Chase Field this season if you visit his Den in the 4thinning, which is located on the Upper Concourse.There, he poses for pictures with his fans.You can play on the slides, practice your baseball skills on Futures Field, or take batting practice in the batting cages when you finish.
My hobbies include working on my T-shirt toss, practicing my Cumbia & Salsa dancing, and meeting D-backs fans in the community.
D-backs Organist Bobby Freeman, Big Red, Beto el Coyote and Howler are friends.
NL West fans are Foes: Lou Seal (Giants), The Swinging Friar (Padres), and Dinger (Rockies).
On game days, favorite foods are fish taco, chips and salsa, and apples with peanut butter.
When the team is on the road, Animal Planet, Fox Sports AZ, and MLB Network are great places to watch them.
