Washington Nationals Call Up Bruce the Bat Dog
While Brady House has not been called up yet, the Nationals are bringing another top prospect. After a couple years of grinding in Rochester Bruce the Bat Dog is getting called up to the Big Leagues. Our furry little friend will be making his MLB debut on June 14th against the Marlins. This could be a history making moment for the Golden Retriever community. Bruce could be the first of many to take the Big Leagues by storm. My favorite part of all this is the hilarious video that the Nationals put out of Rochester manager Matt Lecroy giving Bruce the call to the show. Lecroy does such a great job in it, as he does with all his regular call up videos and Bruce was such a good boy. This was just too good of a story not to write about. Seeing the dog go and get the bats is so adorable. June 14th is a pups in the park day, so hopefully Bruce can be a fixture at those events. When I asked my dog Leo for a comment, he said he was very excited about this. Good job by the Nats for making this happen because it is very cute. They better win for Bruce the Bat Dog when he is in the building. We can't let him down.

Historic Pete Alonso News Emerges Before Nationals-Mets Game
Historic Pete Alonso News Emerges Before Nationals-Mets Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets swept the Colorado Rockies in a three-game series in Denver, most recently delivering a 13-5 win on Sunday. The offense erupted behind Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil, each crushing two home runs and tallying three hits—key to their dominant performances. With that sweep, the Mets hope to carry their momentum into Tuesday night's game against the Washington Nationals at Citi Field. Advertisement Pete Alonso has been a standout force this season, and his performance in Colorado was a prime example. The Mets first baseman delivered two home runs in the finale—bringing his season total to 17—and now holds the franchise record for multi-homer games with 23 in his career, while ranking second on the Mets' all-time home run list.

Between June 2-8, he hit .400 (12‑for‑30) with a .486 on-base percentage, slugging five homers and driving in 15 runs—leading the majors in those categories during the stretch. On Tuesday, more historic Alonso news emerged. In his eight games this month, Alonso has posted 18 RBIs, six home runs and two hit by pitches. Only two other players in the live-ball era—Jeff Bagwell (August 2000) and Reggie Jackson (June 1969)—have matched that level of production over any eight-game span. Alonso's full-season numbers continue to reflect his dominance: he ranks among the NL leaders in home runs and RBIs, and has moved into second place on the Mets' all-time home run list, trailing only Darryl Strawberry. His current form has also sparked talk of him as a contender for NL MVP. Advertisement The Mets, currently with a National League-best 42-win record, will look to continue their hot streak as they return to action at home.
