  • Who Let The Dogs In? Maybe Yanks Should?

    Posted by on May 9th, 2009 · Comments (3)

    Me, my wife, and the kids when to see the Lakewood BlueClaws host the Hickory Crawdads this afternoon. It was “Bark at the Park” day where fans got to bring their dogs into the park for the game. There were about 400 dogs there today. Gotta say, it was fun – especially for the kids – to see so many different kids of dogs inside FirstEnergy Park while watching the game.

    Here’s the view from our seats today. [Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the image.]

    As you can see, we were right behind some of the “off” players charting pitches – as well as behind several scouts. And, for the record, our seats were $9 each and the kids got in for $6 each.

    Note the reading on the radar gun in the picture. Must have been a breaking pitch…at least, for the sake of the pitcher, I hope it was…

    Maybe the Yankees should think about doing a “Bark at the Park” event? How funny would it be to see, during telecasts of games at the new Yankee Stadium, dogs filling what are now going as empty seats (in the “premium suite locations”)?

      The Yankees may not let dogs in but their Double A Affiliate, the Trenton Thunder does! They are having their 3rd annual Bark at the Park on May 31…
