For select home games, the Chesapeake Baysox will take the field as the Chesapeake Oyster Catchers as a tribute to the Chesapeake Bay’s rich heritage and thriving ecosystem. 

Inspired by the American oystercatcher, the prominent patterned shorebird can be found along the Chesapeake Bay year-round. With its bold black-and-white plumage, orange beak, and knack for hunting shellfish, the oystercatcher is a symbol of strength and ingenuity—qualities that define both the Chesapeake region and its passionate baseball fans. 

The Oyster Catchers name also pays homage to the Chesapeake Bay’s rich maritime traditions and oyster restoration efforts, celebrating the region’s deep connection to its waters. The Baysox will celebrate the Chesapeake Bay region each time the Oyster Catchers take the field at Prince George’s Stadium.
