This is a first for Babes Dig Balls! Kid Raptor isn’t our Sports Babe of the Day… he’s our Sports BABY of the Day! At 7 years old, Kid Raptor has high hopes to play in the NBA someday (preferably for the Raptors), but before he gets to that, he loves to dedicate his time to cheering on his favorite team!
At the age of 3, Kid Raptor began sharing his Raptors post-game reports every morning on KiSS 92.5 FM, on the Roz & Mocha Morning Show. He has also made several guest-appearances on NBA TV and the TV show “RAPTORSPACE”, where he made his debut as a co-host, alongside Akil Augustine, for their “Best Plays of the Year: 2010” episode. He’s a fan-favorite at games, and the DancePak ladies just happen to love the little guy!
Meet our super-cool Sports Baby, KIIIIIDDDDDDD RAAAPPPPTTTOOOOORRRRRRR!
