Hank, a stray dog that the Brewers recently found wandering their practice fields at Maryvale Baseball Park, runs during spring training on Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, in Phoenix.PHOENIX – The most popular member of the Milwaukee Brewers at spring training is a rookie who comes with pedigree, an excellent clubhouse presence and good legs.
Four legs, in fact. Along with a button nose and scruffy, white fur.
Hank the dog may be the early lock for camp MVP — Most Valuable Pet.
“Yeah, he’s making a pretty big impact, which I’ve got to say is pretty cool,” pitcher Yovani Gallardo said. “It’s getting a lot of attention, for sure. I think he likes it, too.”
The dog days for the Brewers arrived Feb. 17 when the stray pooch wandered on to the team’s complex looking a little roughed up.
