Never afraid to tap into the zeitgeist, the St. Paul Saints will change their name to the St. Paul Raccoons for a June 26 game against Sioux City on June 26 at CHS Field.

In fact, the team is already calling itself “St. Paul Racoons” on Twitter, with a picture of a raccoon for an avatar, though its Twitter handle remains @StPaulSaints.

The changes are meant to honor #MPRraccoon, a young female that scaled UBS Plaza and stole the hearts of Americans near and far Tuesday before being released back into the wild on Wednesday.

The Saints, who finished a six-game homestand with a 7-1 loss to Fargo-Moorhead on Wednesday, will don special St. Paul Raccoon jerseys for 7:05 p.m. first pitch on June 26. The first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive a special raccoon mask.

Noting the raccoon’s “love of three-lettered buildings,” the Saints will offer the raccoon the key to CHS Field.

On Twitter, they’re calling #MPRraccoon “The hero we never knew we needed.”

“Should the raccoon ever return to the Saint Paul area,” the team said in a statement, “she will have free run of the Saints ballpark, to rummage through the trash, climb up the St. Paul Eye Clinic Batter’s Eye, or just hang out and relax.”

Tickets are available online at saintsbaseball.com and at the Saints Box Office starting at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. on Saturdays.
