It’s a tradition unlike any other. Lots of MLB teams have their own version of Bark at the Park -- the White Sox broke a world record with so many good dogs (1,122, to be exact) at their ballpark last year. The A’s, for their part, have a cooler way to have fun with their good dogs: surfing.
Oakland A’s Bark at the Park had good surfing dogs again
Please do this every year!
The last time they did this, pitcher Chris Bassitt had his dog Ansley ride the cool waves.
I feel like every MLB team should have a wave pool for dogs from now on. The A’s can’t have this for themselves. I want this to be a topic of discussion at MLB owners’ meetings -- how do we improve Bark at the Park and make sure the good doggos hang ten in front of the fans? Have a separate budget to rent out wave pools, then buy a bunch of sunglasses that can fit the dogs’ heads, then hire Washed Out and Toro y Moi to write new chillwave songs to soundtrack the surfing footage, maybe buy dog-friendly Tommy Bahama shirts. These are all free ideas, MLB. Use them.
