Meet Natty, the Washington Nationals' first-ever official team dog: 'i am three baseballs tall'
"Natty, an 8-week-old Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever mix, was announced to be the Nationals' first-ever official team dog on Monday. An important fact about Natty is that "i am three baseballs tall." Natty will make his Major League debut on Friday, May 15, where he will appear in front of an adoring public for the first time against the Baltimore Orioles."
"Friday is Hot Dog Day at @NationalsPark. The first 20,000 fans get this sweet hat, and franks will be $5 all night. A live counter will track the number of glizzys sold, with additional concession deals unlocked as the crowd downs dogs. There will also be specialty items."
""We are excited to be part of this puppy's impactful journey to becoming a service dog, and we know our team, fans, community, and ballpark will offer a wonderful training environment," Jason Sinnarajah, the Nationals' president of business operations, said in a release. Born on March 5, 2026, and hailing from Northern California (it explains the blonde) near Lake Tahoe, Natty first flew to Washington, DC, on May 4, where he met his new puppy raisers, Jackie and Laura."
Natty, an 8-week-old Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever mix, was welcomed to Nationals Park as the Washington Nationals’ first official team dog. Natty will make a Major League debut on Friday, May 15, against the Baltimore Orioles. The debut coincides with Hot Dog Day, where the first 20,000 fans receive hats reading “Bad Day To Be A Hot Dog,” and franks are sold for $5 all night. A live counter tracks glizzys sold, with additional concession deals unlocked as sales increase. Natty is being raised as a service dog, and the Nationals will provide a training environment for the next 18 months while Natty lives in Northern Virginia.
