home games, as well as numerous events in San Francisco and around the United States, ever since. Although his name (a play on the name "Lucille") is a bit ambiguous, he is indeed "officially" male and the person inside the costume is a man. Lou Seal is also a reference to the San Francisco Seals, the baseball club that was a mainstay of the Pacific Coast League from 1903 until 1957. In a contest held by the Giants where fans were asked for ideas, six people submitted the name "Lou Seal."

As part of the finale to a daylong event in San Francisco surrounding “Batkid” Miles Scott in 2015, Lou Seal was kidnapped by The Penguin and taken to AT&T Field, pursued by Batkid and Batman. After completing an obstacle course, Batman captured the Penguin while Batkid freed a grateful Lou Seal, who thanked him with a hug.
