Derby, Team Bat Dog for the double-A Trenton Thunder, [img=https://www.milb.com/thunder/news/team-bat-dog-derby-passes-away-at-age-9/c-264405878]http://has died of cancer[/img] at nine years old. Derby was a beloved member of the Thunder, and he began his retrieving apprenticeship in 2008 under his father Chase. Even as his face got all gray, Derby continued to do his thing and go pick up bats. Thunder GM Jeff Hurley announced Derby’s death Monday:

[...]

In his time with the Thunder, Derby has retrieved bats for Yankees players like Alex Rodriguez and Aaron Judge. He comes from a baseball family, as his son Rookie and one of his brothers also practice the family profession. Derby became the full-time Bat Dog in 2010, and spent last season working alongside Rookie, though their time together was not without incident.

I think they trained him to take the part of the bat not rubbed over with pine tar.

Nooooooo!!!!!

I have several Derby and Chase memories and memorabilia.

It’s why I would go to Thunders games.

Rest In Peace at the Rainbow Bridge Derby. Unless you are in heaven catching balls from Babe Ruth.
