Who needs a bat boy when you can train a dog to do the same job? Well, maybe this is why.
Like some minor league teams, the Single-A Greensboro Grasshoppers employ a dog — theirs is named “Miss Lou Lou Gehrig” — to retrieve players’ bats after at-bats.
This Grasshoppers batter set his bat down in the middle of an at-bat for an unknown reason, triggering Miss Lou Lou Gehrig to come fetch it.
Don’t tease Miss Lou Lou Gehrig like that! 😂 #MiLB (🎥 @gsohoppers )

That was one committed dog, especially in the way that it decided to come back for one more try.
