Bat dog has disastrous minor league baseball debut (but is still a good girl)
It was Lucy May’s big debut as a bat dog for a minor league baseball team.
As the Clearwater Threshers’ official bat dog, Lucy May, a 10-month-old Labrador retriever, was tasked with retrieving bats with her mouth from the field during part of the team’s home game against the Dunedin Blue Jays on Aug. 23.
Before the fourth inning, though, Lucy May got a case of the zoomies and flouted her bat dog duties. Rather than retrieving the bat, she sprinted aimlessly around BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, Fla., before dashing through the visiting team’s dugout. She then ran back onto the field, squatted and took a poo. The crowd erupted in laughter.
