<P> Lou Seal is the official mascot of the San Francisco Giants . `` Born '' on July 25 , 1996 , Luigi Francisco Seal has been a regular part of all Giants 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 . Species-wise , Lou Seal is a reference to the San Francisco Seals , the baseball club that was a mainstay of the Pacific Coast League from 1903 until 1957 . </P>
