I remember the 'clubhouse' my Dad built for me many, many, years ago. Of course, I didn't call it a clubhouse...just a 'doll house'. NO boys were allowed. My brothers were not happy that Dad sided with me...lol.

"Fun-a-lich-ious Fun-a-lich-ious" is what it's all about! :)

Yorkie, After you mentioned the hidden fairies, I went back to take a better look. I had been looking at the girl hugging her Teddy Bear and the cup of coffee down by her foot. Now, I think I see 4 fairies, is that correct?

I know what you mean about computers. I was telling Barry last night that they can pop up all these windows telling us stuff and there’s no way we can talk back. I want to talk back....LOL!

I sure have seen them jump up....like a bullet from a gun! But like geo said, they can sleep anywhere on any object! Cats are a fascinating species!

I was an 120 day wonder & graduated from WOCS Naval Newport RI in 1968. such wonderful memories. The worst mistake I made in my life was leaving the Navy to get married.

sigh

Goin' to the Dogs...?

 

 

SMALLS TALK: Greensboro's 'Bat Dogs'



You don't send a boy to do a dog's job. That's what the Greensboro Grasshoppers believe, at least. In a clubhouse where players are constantly coming and going due to the ever-changing nature of A Ball rosters, 'bat dogs' Babe Ruth and Yogi Berra are the two mainstays at Greensboro's NewBridge Bank Park.

The first time you see the two black labs sitting by the side of the dugout, you can't help but tilt your head in curiosity- 'What's going on? Hmm, why is there a dog on the field? Uh oh, he's walking towards the plate- Hey, grab him!' In your mind, baseball and dogs have never been associated- it doesn't make sense.

Well in Greensboro, it makes perfect sense. Every night is 'Bark at the Park' night with these two on hand, and to be totally honest, they're probably the best 'bat boys' in the league. (They're definitely the best 'bat dogs').

They're awesome. Unlike the usual cast of pre-pubescent bat retrievers, these canines are never distracted- they know their job, they don't get confused, and there's no chance of stepping in their gum that they carelessly spit onto the dugout floor- which I'm only assuming is no fun. Nope, with these dogs it's all business.


They're calm and determined in their work. They retrieve bats at home plate, reload the umpire's ball supply, and provide between-inning entertainment for the fans- ok, for the players, too. And at the end of every game, the two dogs race around the bases in opposite directions, finishing back at home plate where two lucky fans welcome them with treats in hand.

The dogs are well-mannered and by the sixth inning they really just become part of the scenery. They're a great attraction for fans, and as a visiting player I was pretty impressed with the whole concept. These pups knew what they were doing, and aside from a couple of 'mishaps' that had to be scooped off of the outfield turf, the games went along as smoothly as they normally would.

They're as professional as a dog can be, not to mention seeing them around the clubhouse is hysterical- they're part of the staff. They have a game day routine, they hang out with fellow stadium employees, and they're allowed in all the restricted access areas- I'm guessing they're a howl at post-game staff parties as well.

For the purpose of entertaining fans, supporting a family-friendly environment, and totally distracting opposing players, I give Greensboro's Bat Dogs a big thumbs up.

What a darling graphic, Amy. Sorry you've been having computer problems! I hate'em sometimes, don't you?

Thanks for your nice compliments. Had I known that my post would have been the opening (LOL) I would have put some pretty poetry with it or at least some nice quotes.

Always Remember This!
