The Milwaukee Brewers, of Major League Baseball (MLB), recently found “Hank” wandering their practice fields at Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoneix, Arizona and he has quickly become the newest member of the team. The dog days for the Brewers arrived February 17 when the stray pooch wandered on to the team’s complex looking a little roughed up. Team employees took him to a veterinarian for a checkup and bath. The vet estimated Hank is around 2 years old. No definitive word on the breed but he looks like a bichon frise mix. The Brewers named him “Hank” after baseball great Hank Aaron, who began his career in Milwaukee.
