I watched those dogs from afar. I plan to go to New Jersey this summer and visit my daughter and son in law. Just miles away from Arm & Hammer Park, home of the Trenton Thunder — the Yankees Double-A affiliate. Then, of course, I’ll continue to Yankee Stadium.
I watched the video of the history of the famous Trenton Thunder bat dogs, beginning with Chase, passing the baton, or in this case bat, to his son Derby.
After some intense training that didn’t work out too well, but made for funny viewing of his Triple-A promotion and subsequent Scranton debut, Rookie was evidently a good boy in Trenton, following in dad’s and grandfather’s paw-steps.
