RIP Chase, the Trenton Thunder bat dog

The bat dog for the Trenton Thunder has died just days after his retirement party. The Trenton Thunder is the Yankees AA affiliate. I have been going to Thunder games for years and Chase was always a highlight for my kids. We just went to a game on Saturday and saw Chase’s son Derby retrieving the bats.

Good dog Chase. You will be missed.

Awwwww… NPR mentioned Chase this morning. Good dog. :frowning: Glad he has a son carrying on the family tradition.

Golden Retrievers are generally good looking dogs but both Chase and Derby are gorgeous. I remember being there one time and they had both out on the field before the game. Derby was too young and easily distracted. Chase was getting a bit grey. Derby seems to have grown into the job. Both of them obviously love doing the job which makes it fun for everyone.

:frowning: RIP Sad. Plus I am projecting because I have a Golden Retriever who is 14 and this just reminds me of things I would rather not think about.
