    Dinger can refer to:
    A nickname
    A song
    Baseball jargon for a home run
    The purple, anthropomorphized triceratops mascot of the Colorado Rockies baseball team
    A slang term referring to persons of East-Indian descent
    A type of bell-headed monster from the children's television show Sesame Street
    A pseudonym/nickname for SAS Bravo Two Zero patrol member, Ian Pring.
    A character in the 1989 film Dream a Little Dream
    OED: "Something superlative in a positive sense"
    Ancient Sumerian word for 'God.'
    Nickname for NASCARSprint Cup driver AJ Allmendinger.

    and it looks like Ryan is trying to pick-pocket Pujols (say that ten times fast) in that shot!!

    Young, a mascot AND a blue border? Sweet. The Martin comment was awesome.

    That Holliday card makes me sick. The Aroldis card is a good antidote. Now if only the Reds would make him a starter...

    I didn't know anything about the 'Spot the error' cards. I have never seen one!

    Sweet Kurt Suzuki... he should be worth a lot more than a +1 IMHO. Then again... I don't really want to help out an Angels fan either ;-)

    The only error I can spot on that card is that there is a Phillie on it

    I think they got the costume for their mascot out of a bin of leftovers from Barney.

    The Halman card always makes me sad that he met his tragic end so soon last offseason.

    I scored some points, and off a Coca-cola ad. I didn't expect that. Nice.

    You couldn't make a Dog the bounty hunter Chapman joke on that last card?

    Why the heck would Koji yell Baby Trees?

    For a guy that post pictures of hot chicks, how do you give someone points for a card of a player that is almost totally blocked from the camera by a guy crabbing another guys ass?

    I don't care what a Dinger is....it's my new favorite mascot.

    And new favorite card.

    Stacked!!

    I don't get the Opening Day set. Why is the design the same as the base set? I do like the mascot cards though.

    And dawgbones beat me to the pick-pocket Pujols card!

    Okey dokey. Dinger got an extra point for the Coke ad. I should get extra points for the Phanatic being from my favorite team...
