Minor League Baseball Team to Play as St. Paul Raccoons in Honor of Viral #MPRRaccoon

Minor league baseball teams are known for having crazy promotional nights, but one St. Paul, Minn. team is dedicating a night to the viral #MPRRaccoon, the team announced.

On June 26, the St. Paul Saints will play as the St. Paul Raccoons after a raccoon captured the city's attention at the start of this week.

A raccoon was reported to be stranded on the ledge of a building in downtown St. Paul on Monday. She eventually rescued herself on Tuesday only to begin scaling the downtown UBS Tower, which is more than 20 stories tall.
