Amarillo Dillas News Release
AMARILLO, TX - After a nail biting 2-1 loss last night at the hands of the San Angelo Colts the Dillas will prepare for game two of the four-game set tonight, by welcoming a special canine guest to the Amarillo National Bank Dilla Villa. The Amarillo Dillas Baseball Club announced this morning that the normal Two Dollar Tuesday promotion will also include an appearance by one of baseball's fastest growing acts when Jake "The Diamond" Dog stops to visit.
The best darn dog in professional baseball. A utility player that does it all. Always a fan favorite. Jake is one of the most original acts in the game. Barnstorming across America to ballparks where his full-game performance includes: delivering the game ball to the pitcher, shagging foul balls, taking water and towels to the umps, playing batboy, catching Frisbees and honoring the Sweetheart of the Game.
His sidekick and full-time trainer/driver, Jeff "Dawg Man" Marchal, has been there for 3 generations of Diamond Dogs. All have been amazing and the latest incarnation, in his third season since being called up, is showing signs of being the best performer of the linage.
Bark in the Park (TM) is the promotional name of the interactive national tour involving the famous Jake "The Diamond Dog", "Dawg Man, and a wide array of pet-helpful services. This highly publicized tour will be offered nationwide for baseball park promotions and community events.
