Dinger is the mascot of the Colorado Rockies. He is a purple triceratops. In January 1994 the Rockies found a large egg at the construction site for their new ballpark, Coors Field. Before the April 16, 1994 game between the Rockies and the Montreal Expos the egg hatched and out came Dinger.

Dinger is purple in homage to the area's purple mountain majesty.
