Who is Scrappy?
Like the industrial Mahoning Valley region he hails from, Scrappy's determination to never back down and fight until he wins is one of his most prized attributes. In 1999 Scrappy ran into a group of baseball players on their way to Eastwood Field and has made Eastwood Field his home ever since. He can often be seen on top of a dugout cheering for his team or at outside events supporting the community. Scrappy is currently the only mascot in Minor League Baseball to wear a chain.
