If You Love Baseball, You Need To See These Adorable ‘Batdogs’ in Action

While few improvements can be made to the beloved all-American game of baseball, a minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees found exactly what the sport was missing: dogs!

 

Derby and Rookie, the Batdog and Batdog-in-training for the Trenton Thunder, have been retrieving bats during the first inning of home games for years.

They've even given the Thunder Batboy a run for his money.

"There's definitely a spirit of competition between me and the dogs," Trenton Thunder Batboy Andrew Spera tells HooplaHa. "Some people might say he does a better job than I do!"

Their Batdog training includes teaching the adorable dogs the best technique for balancing the bat, but their lovable personality just comes naturally!
