| Air Bud while on the set of Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch |
In an effort to stabilize the position of right field, currently held by Jason Pridie, the New York Mets decided to sign well known sports playing dog Air Bud to a 3 year 15 million dollar contract. The signing came after GM Sandy Alderson saw the movie Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch and was very impressed with the talent he saw from the golden retriever.
“We’re very happy to have Air Bud coming on board with the team.”Alderson told the media, “I understand that there may be scepticism over the signing of a dog, but we checked and apparently there is no rule against dogs playing baseball. He will be much better than Jason Pridie ever will be, I promise you that. There may be a problem with throwing the ball but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”
Air Bud has already gotten acquainted with his teammates and he seems to already be the most well liked player on the team, except by left fielder Jason Bay who says he is more of a cat person.
“Don’t get me wrong I have no problems with dogs as long as they don’t get in my face. “Said Bay, “But everyone else seems to like the way he licks their and sniffs their butt. It’s just so gross. I just feel like it’s crossing some sort of line, but I guess I’m in the minority. Were there no cats that could have played right field? I would’ve enjoyed a cat.”
When asked about his feelings on playing for the Mets Air Bud barked once, wagged his tail and rolled onto his back seemingly asking for someone to rub his belly. Dog-lover Jose Reyes happily obliged the request. The general consensus is that Air Bud will be happy and loyal to whomever it is that is feeding him.
Rumors are the Mets are currently in talks with a kid from the Little League World Series to shore up the back end of their rotation.
