Casey Catherwood Hypes His Tacoma Rainiers

Casey Catherwood, creative director and on-field host of the AAA baseball team, The Tacoma Rainiers, goes all out. Like a player sprinting home from third base, every ounce of energy or spark of thought is at Catherwood’s disposal daily as he works the crowd and wows hometown audiences at Cheney Stadium.

Whether he’s in the stands with someone dressed as a gorilla or watching Rainier fans race from the outfield to the infield, Catherwood makes sure those who come to spend a day at the ballpark are rewarded no matter the final score. That’s his mission, and, well, he loves it. It is clear during every home game.

We caught up with Catherwood to ask him about his in-game antics, why he does what he does for the fans and when he fell in love with America’s official pastime. (As of this writing, the Rainiers record is 59-42).
