Official scoops fresh dog poop with bare hand at Cannon Ballers Vs Mudcats game/ X Screengrab
A
Minor League Baseball
game turned into an unexpected spectacle over the weekend when a
Kannapolis Cannon Ballers
staffer was caught on camera cleaning up dog feces, using his bare hand. The incident took place on Sunday at
Atrium Health Ballpark
, during a Single-A matchup between the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, an affiliate of the
Chicago White Sox
, and the Carolina Mudcats.
During the bottom of the third inning, the Cannon Ballers' beloved
bat dog
,
Kacey Betty
, had a bathroom emergency just feet away from home plate. The dog had just relieved herself on the field, moments before preparing to fetch a bat, when a stadium official intervened.
Instead of using gloves or waste bags, the employee opted to scoop up the excrement with a clipboard and his bare hand, horrifying both the live audience and fans online. The moment, captured on video and shared widely on social media, left viewers stunned. According to OutKick, 'Good god, he closed the gate with his poo hand!'
Another report by TMZ highlighted the viral reactions, with one fan commenting, 'Fire the guy who picked up s** with his bare hands immediately,'* while another exclaimed, 'Ayoooo he bare handed that grounder??'

Adding to the surreal nature of the moment, OutKick noted, 'That's certainly a new one. We've all done the move where you get something flat like a piece of paper or a clipboard to scoop up a spider or something that spilled, but I've never seen that done with dog poo.'
So far, the stadium has made no official statement about the cleanup protocol or the staff member involved. As TMZ reported, 'No public comment from him so far ... but hopefully the stadium had some good hand sanitizer on deck.'
The incident also raised questions about preparedness, with OutKick remarking, 'I'm not sure how there wasn't a roll of s--t bags nearby... You'd think if they have a dog working for the team, they have some bags at the ready.'
Despite the bizarre mid-game cleanup, the Cannon Ballers pulled off a 3-0 win over the Mudcats. But the real talk of the night wasn't the score, it was the stomach-churning image of barehanded dog poop removal that's now immortalized online.

Nic Lentz threw out Taylor Walls for tapping on his helmet due to a Minor League Baseball rule?
Looks like the whole ruckus that home plate umpire Nic Lentz created was based on a Minor League Baseball rule. On Sunday, during the ninth inning of the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Houston Astros, Lentz applied a Minor League Baseball rule to the spring training in Major League Baseball. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The regular season of MLB (Major) does not have an automated ball-strike system. The Associated Press reported on June 2, 'A batter tapping their helmet was the signal for challenging a call when the Automated Ball-Strike System was used during spring training in Major League Baseball. The system is still in use in minor league games but is not currently being used in regular season games in MLB.' In MLB, a batter tapping on the helmet is a sarcastic way of telling the umpire that you would challenge if you could On June 2, Ari Alexander, Sports Anchor/Reporter(MLB Insider), shared on his X: In the minor leagues where they have ball-strike challenges, you tap your helmet to signal a challenge. In MLB, it's a sarcastic way of telling the ump you would challenge if you could. So sarcasm is a part of Major League Baseball now? Did Tampa Bay Rays' second baseman Taylor Walls sarcastically tap on his helmet to signal a challenge? And so, home plate umpire Nic Lentz threw him out of the baseball diamond because Taylor Walls sarcastically challenged his call? Home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski had warned St. Louis Cardinals players about not touching their helmets sarcastically to suggest they're challenging his pitch calls On April 4, Baseball History Nut reported through X: Yesterday, home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski told Cardinals players if they touch their helmet to sarcastically suggest they're challenging a pitch call as they did in spring with ABS, they would be ejected, immediately. He missed 22 calls. St. Louis Cardinals players were warned by home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski that if they touched their helmets sarcastically to challenge a pitch call made by him, he would eject them immediately. Is that what Nic Lentz did? Two months later? Do these home plate umpires discuss ejecting players so often? The batter could be just adjusting their helmets, or their heads might be tickling because of the sweat accumulated under the helmet. Does it call for ejection then, too? Also Read:

'Brittany Mahomes level of annoyance': Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson under fire online as Brittany Mahomes comparison sparks backlash
Jordon Hudson , the young girlfriend of NFL legend Bill Belichick , is facing growing criticism online, with comparisons to Brittany Mahomes stirring further controversy. As media attention intensifies, questions arise about her influence and role in Belichick's professional and personal life. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Outkick host draws harsh parallels between Jordon Hudson and Brittany Mahomes' wife amid growing controversy Bill Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is once again facing social media criticism—this time with Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany Mahomes, caught in the crossfire. Amid rumors and drama surrounding Hudson's increasing presence around the University of North Carolina (UNC) football facilities, Outkick host Mike Gunzelman stoked controversy by likening Hudson's public behavior to that of Brittany Mahomes—long a target of NFL fan outrage. "Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon is reaching Brittany Mahomes level of annoyance and distraction," tweeted Gunzelman, sparking debate online. The comment was made in response to allegations that UNC had banned Hudson from accessing the school's football facilities. The University, however, clarified in a statement that while Hudson is not affiliated with the football program, she is not banned and remains permitted on the premises. Belichick family insiders express concern over Hudson's influence Adding fuel to the fire, an episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out quoted a Belichick family insider who expressed deep concerns about Hudson's impact on the NFL icon's public image, 'There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill's legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades.' Gunzelman followed up by tweeting, 'She's Brittany Mahomes x 100 or the owner from the Major League movies—way too much to handle and as soon as she walks by you know officials are just ripping her.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Though unrelated to the Belichick saga, Brittany Mahomes has been routinely scrutinized for her outspoken nature. From controversial social media activity to accusations of rude behavior at stadiums, her past has made her an easy target. As the internet circles the Hudson drama, the echo of Brittany's name reveals how quick fans and media figures are to lump outspoken NFL partners into the same category. Also Read: Despite their very different roles and relationships within the NFL ecosystem, Hudson and Mahomes find themselves used as public yardsticks for what some fans deem "too much." With the spotlight intensifying on Hudson and her influence around Belichick, the conversation has become as much about gendered scrutiny and media narratives as it is about football.
