Bat Bitch
No, I'm not making a snide remark about anyone. But the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the South Atlantic League introduce a new kind of bat girl tonight when they host the Savannah Sand Gnats.
The nine-month-old bitch, named "Miss Babe Ruth," will debut at First Horizon Park this evening, but will see limited action. If all goes well, she'll be more and more involved in the action over the remainder of the season.

A now nine-month old Miss Babe Ruth will don a uniform, try to calm pre-game jitters and take the field for her first performance First Horizon Park. Though daily practices still continue, instructors believe she has what it takes to make a solid impact with the team, especially during the upcoming eight-game homestand.No word on if umpires will now be allowed to have their seeing-eye dogs accompany them to the plate.
“We are so excited for Babe to be in the game tonight,” said Grasshoppers President Donald Moore. “She has worked so hard and progressed extremely well for her age.”
