You Know You’re Pitching In Single-A When You See This!

So Wilmington Blue Rocks pitcher Sam Selman had to time his warmup pitches around the fifth-inning entertainment, which happened to be monkeys riding dogs herding goats. You may have heard of this before: the show is called Cowboy Monkeys, which is put on by a group called Team Ghost Riders, and many Minor League Baseball teams just love it.

Field maintenance crews? Not so much.

The Blue Rocks feature the rodeo monkeys at least twice a season. Of course, this is the Carolina League team that has a mascot called Mr. Celery, so in comparison the goats aren’t so weird.
