The Clearwater Threshers, a Single-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, introduced their new bat dog, Lucy May, during a game against the Dunedin Blue Jays, following the retirement of her predecessor, Layla, who served for 13 years. Unfortunately, Lucy's debut was marked by distraction and a humorous mishap, as she ran onto the field and defecated in front of the audience, capturing the moment on video that quickly went viral. Despite the rookie blunder, the 2,682 fans in attendance found the incident entertaining, with many sharing their amusement on social media. The team embraced Lucy's antics, stating they would never consider firing her for the mishap, and even acknowledged that such accidents happen to the best of them. While Lucy's first night as bat dog did not bring a win for the Threshers, her comedic introduction has certainly left a memorable impression. Future games will allow her to refine her skills, with the next opportunity not scheduled until April.
