This Dog is a Designated HitterA garage in Marblehead, Massachusetts, has a shop dog, a blue heeler named Pepper. And what better way to fill time between vehicles than to play baseball with your dog? Pepper doesn't just play catch, though. She's in a league of her own, as a pro with a bat! You can see more of Pepper's baseball feats (and basketball, too) at Instagram. You might wonder how on earth you train a dog to wield a bat and connect so well. Think about it... if you were a dog and figured out a way to play with both a stick and a ball at the same time, you wouldn't want to do anything else but practice! -via Laughing Squid#dog #baseball #baseballbat

The cat became a viral star, but what happened to the teams? Since then, the Yankees have won 17 of 20 games, but the Orioles haven't won any!We would not still be discussing this cat three weeks later if the Orioles losing streak didn’t represent the seventh longest skid in Major League Baseball in the last 100 years.

But the fact that the O’s dropped 18 straight makes it feel like something shady is going on here. Was this cat sent by a baseball witch to curse the O’s? Let’s investigate.
