Sharing a birthday with the United States of America must be pretty cool for New York Yankees youngster Mike Ford. What’s even cooler, though, is that furry celebrity Rookie the bat dog remembered Ford’s special day.
“A very happy birthday to my fren #MikeFord!” tweeted Rookie, who retrieves bats for Bombers double-A affiliate Trenton Thunder. The golden retriever impressively tapped out the birthday wish with just a single typo, despite possessing no fingers or thumbs.
Rookie, who boasts well over 12,000 Twitter followers, included a few photos of him and Ford yukking it up together in Trenton.
