The DubSea Fish Sticks is a summer collegiate baseball team, known for their crazy antics including throwing out a ceremonial “first fish”. The honoree flings a fish towards home plate instead of a baseball. Between innings the team runs on field promotions with fans as participants. During non-league games the team also runs an open raffle for a random fan to sign a one day contract and lead off in the game for the Fish Sticks as the “Fan Batter of the Night”. The Fish Sticks are made up of college players from around the country and put on their events during the months of June & July. The team hosts their events at Mel Olson Stadium which is located inside of King County’s Steve Cox Memorial Park in White Center, that they have nicknamed “The Fryer.”
