The Milwaukee Brewers adopt stray dog as new mascot for 2014 season, name him Hank [VIDEO]
After wandering onto the field during a training session in Arizona, a stray dog quickly became a member of the Milwaukee Brewers. Naming the little guy Hank, the Major League Baseball team decided to adopt the pooch and make him the team's new mascot for the upcoming season. Thanks to a great response from fans via Twitter and Instagram posts featuring Hank, we all get to enjoy a great future with this adorable new mascot.
With Leather reports:
Random animals have long played roles in the superstitions of Major League Baseball teams, with the Rally Monkey of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Rally Squirrel of the St. Louis Cardinals of St. Louis being two of the most notable recent examples. The Milwaukee Brewers are getting an early jump on the four-legged good luck charm with the adoption of a stray pooch named Hank that just sort of wandered into the Maryvale Baseball Park in Arizona.
Let's check out some great posts on the Brewers' Twitter account that rocketed Hank to fame:
