Very good doggo interrupts minor league baseball game for some fetch

Air Bud has nothing on this pup.

Truth be told, there's nothing more delightful than a great "Bark at the Park Night," special promotions at both minor and major league baseball games throughout the season where dogs are allowed into the stadium.

Besides making it possible to watch America's Pastime with Man's Best Friend, these games are great for prime dogspotting opportunities and adorable shenanigans.

Case in point: the German Shepherd-looking pup who got free during Wednesday night's "Bark at the Park" festivities for the minor league Tulsa Drillers and decided that infield warm-ups were the best time to play catch with the shortstop.

Okay, sure, the pup interrupted things, but with that speed, agility, and ball-catching skills, why not let the pup field?

Let the pup play, guys.
