This whole Sanrio-neck-tattoo thing is very real. I bought a couple rounds for 29er Lunchbox [pictured] and asked him about the new Hello Kitty ink on his neck and - sure enough - he said they [29ers] will all be sporting different Sanrio characters in time for the first pitch of the playoffs. For a while it looked like it might not happen because there was some serious drama between him and 29er Rickey. Lunchbox had been openly debating between getting Hello Kitty or Choco Cat and around that time Rickey started acting kind of weird. He asked Lunchbox to go out for drinks to talk and just totally broke down and begged for Choco Cat. Lunchbox wasn't going to budge - apparently his nickname in college was 'Choco Cat' or something - but team management put together an intervention with him and Rickey and they decided that the face of the Sanrio franchise would suffice for Lunchbox."
Rumors are swirling about other player/character pairings, and though none can be confirmed at this time, it should be noted that 29er Ray was recently spotted in a Mission District nightclub sporting a customized Pekkle leather jacket.
