Ump Is A Complete Asshole To Finn The Bat Dog On Opening Night

The Las Vegas Aviators opened their new Las Vegas Ballpark Tuesday and the big news besides the beautiful new ballpark is that a Triple-A ump was a complete jerkoff towards Finn the Bat Dog during the game. The ump was caught picking up a bat and throwing it towards the Aviators dugout, but it’s Finn’s job to retrieve the bats and bring them to the dugout.

Finn, a black lab, isn’t some rookie working his first day on the job. He’s a retrieving machine who lives to taste that pine tar wrapped around a fine piece of maple. Of course Finn did what any good boy would do and he tracked that maple and brought it right back to his owner.

Finn didn’t release a statement on the umpire’s action. Neither did his owner/trainer Fred. They’ll be getting all sorts of support from animal lovers who see this as a travesty. The ump clearly knew there would be a bat-retrieving dog on the field and went out of his way to disrespect Finn. I expect the Pacific Coast League, or whatever they’re calling it these days, to issue a statement that this will never happen again and that Finn will be shown much more respect by this ump going forward.
