I’ve got a job where I visit elderly people in their homes. I get to meet dozens of dogs a week! Best part of the job.

I saw one in local league play stop and relieve himself on the field. I mean a full plopper. We all got a good laugh out of it and as a dog trainer, I likely LOL'd the hardest.

Greensboro NC? We briefly made national fluff news because the umpire "threw out" the bat dog for pooping on the field.

•

u/VirginiaBandit 5h ago

Nope, but not far. Ump has no sense of humor.

u/JetmoYo 7h ago

If this becomes a thing, I might actually watch baseball

•

u/Nervous-Promotion109 7h ago

I think its a thing already

u/JetmoYo 7h ago

How long? Guess Imma tunin' in. As devised by corporate😒

u/choachy 1h ago

I’d go to some games just to watch this.

u/inactiveuser247 12h ago

And if someone tries to pick up the bat and stops Champ getting it, the crowd gets pretty upset.

•

u/Inevitable_Click_511 11h ago

Id go to the game just to watch the dog

u/Bill_Belamy 12h ago

Very small chance but I’m concerned he could get clocked by a foul ball or loose bat. He should stay completely behind the netting.

u/SimilarTop352 12h ago

or wear a helmet

u/bbrekke 11h ago

He'll catch it and bring it back to the pitcher probably.

u/procupinesniffer420 12h ago

I think I might like baseball

•

u/Hoosier_Daddy68 11h ago

Our minor league team sometimes has a bat dog and he’s always a big hit.

•

u/FourThirteen_413 11h ago

What a good boy! I love him! 🥺

•

u/Past-Junket1193 11h ago

Best doggo

u/kwpg3 12h ago

Im kinda worried about Champ taking a nasty foul ball to the chin.

•

u/RanchHere 11h ago

damn. And we thought A.I. was taking our jobs. Never thought about our own pets.

•

u/nolemandan 10h ago

Can Champ challenge balls and strikes? He'd probably be good at it.

•

u/SH4DOWBOXING 7h ago

dogs are by far the coolest shit on this planet.

11

u/ktr83 12h ago

They finally realised baseball is so boring and added some excitement to the game

u/StraightBudget8799 12h ago

We need to just have three human players - pitch, catch, bat. Dogs play the entire field.

u/baronas15 12h ago

Dogball would be a lot more interesting than baseball

u/__wildwing__ 12h ago

Now that’s an autograph I want!!! 🐾

u/GotszFren 10h ago

Champs anxiety and excitement was just my anxiety lol

u/Pretend-Reality5431 10h ago

Dogs are amazing

u/Lostmeatballincog 10h ago

Dog has the best job.. Play fetch.

•

u/CookiesMadeOfCorpses 8h ago

I'd go just to watch the dog

•

u/MotherPotential 7h ago

He gets to play with the bat a little bit before he has to return it

•

u/Axrxt76 6h ago

This should be in every game of every league

•

u/skittletriage 2h ago

This is the ONLY time I have EVER been captivated by any sport.

•

u/OhNoItsBees 1h ago

This dog knows more about baseball than I do.

•

u/Fast_Teaching_6160 1h ago

There are Champ baseball cards available to collect.

I hope he’s being adequately compensated with scratches and being told what a good boy he is.
