Trenton Thunder Bat-Dog Gives In To Natural Instinct

The Trenton Thunder (AA Affiliate of the New York Yankees) have been using a golden retriever as a "bat dog" rather than the traditional bat boy.

Just a couple days ago, 'Rookie' got the call that he was being promoted to join the AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre RailRiders.

It seems, however, that the pressures of being just a step away from the bigs got to Rookie, and he forgot his duties only included retrieving bats, not balls.
