1996 San Francisco Giants season

The team finished in fourth place in the National League West with a 68–94 record, 23 games behind the San Diego Padres.

Todd Schwenk, an Oakland Athletics Fan, named the mascot in a KNBR Sports Radio phone-in contest.

It also refers to the San Francisco Seals, the baseball club which was a mainstay of the Pacific Coast League from 1903 until 1957.
