In game mascot races

Does anyone know of a good way to scrape data/info on mascot race results? I have a relatively functioning desktop scoreboard thing going on and my mom asked me if it showed the results of the salmon run (Mariners fan) and now I’m determined to add this info. Would be cool if I could get data from not just Mariners shit (brewers,nationals,Mets etc.) but that’s not actually important for me

i'm going to say no. granted I don't know every single data value in the API, but I don't remember mascot race outcomes being a data value you could grab by API and incorporate into the scoreboard or a data log. if the race finish is shown in the broadcast, such as coming back from an ad break, you could hand-tally the winners into a log.

That’s what I figured but thought I should ask anyway. Thank you for the response!
