Daisy was left in the Grayson Stadium parking lot two weeks
ago with no tags, collar or microchip. A
staff member found her alone and crying near the office door as he left for an
appointment. Now, Team President Jared Orton and his wife Kelsey have adopted
her.
"It was just meant to be that we'd have a team dog as
part of our staff," said Orton. "We took Daisy to the vet and aside
from being hungry and dehydrated, she was in pretty good health."
Daisy comes in to the office every day to help ship out
Bananas merchandise and greet visitors dropping by to purchase 5-game plans and
merchandise.
"We aren't sure how big she'll get, so it's hard to say
if she'll be able to pick up a bat or just coach first base," said Orton,
"but as she grows, she'll be a fixture at the ballpark."
