The Arkansas Travelers are honoring “The Goodest Boy in Baseball,” ballpark pup Dizzy, with a rebrand of the team name, logo and uniforms for one dog friendly week this summer. From June 10-15, the Travs will be the Barkansas Dizzys, presented by Farm Bureau Insurance.
A permanent resident of Dickey-Stephens Park, Dizzy can always be found cruising the concourse during Travs games with a baseball in his mouth. He is the faithful canine companion of Greg Johnston, the Travelers’ Vice President of Stadium Operations who is in his 50th year working for the organization. Dizzy is often found on the field before Travs games chasing baseballs or rolling in the grass before spending a few innings signing “pawtographs” on the concourse.
The week of celebration will include logos designed by local design firm Eric Rob & Isaac. The alternate identity’s colors are inspired by Dizzy’s “English Cream” fur and influenced by the throwback blue and gold colors of the Travs’ parent club, the Seattle Mariners.
Dogs will be allowed inside the ballpark at all six games during Barkansas Dizzys Week. Promotions include a “Pitching Dizzy” bobblehead giveaway on Thursday, as well as a dog bandana giveaway as part of Dizzy’s 8th Birthday Bash on Saturday. Dog-friendly postgame drone shows will replace the regular fireworks on Friday and Saturday.
Tickets for the week – and all Travelers home games at CHI St. Vincent Field at Dickey-Stephens Park – are available for purchase at travs.com/tickets. Official “Barkansas Dizzys” merchandise is available for both humans and canines now at travs.com/shop.
