The Clearwater Threshers, a minor league baseball team, introduced their new bat dog, Lucy May, during a recent game, but her debut took an unexpected turn. Instead of retrieving bats, the 10-month-old lab ran around the field, eventually stopping to relieve herself in front of second base, leading to a viral moment online. Lucy was training for the role after the retirement of the previous bat dog, Layla, and despite her chaotic first appearance, she charmed the crowd and is set to continue her duties. Team staff and Lucy's trainer expressed a mix of embarrassment and humor over the incident, which they did not foresee. The mishap has garnered millions of views and turned Lucy into a social media sensation, delighting fans and highlighting the fun side of minor league baseball. The team remains optimistic about her future performances following the incident.
