I'll be the first one to admit that I know next to nothing about baseball. Like almost every young American boy, I played baseball as a kid, but got bored of it quite quickly. Although I may not be an expurrt in baseball, I am an expurrt in cats. That's where ChipPurr Jones comes in.
In late August of this year, a staff member from the Gwinnett Stripers rescued a smol orange kitten from a traffic accident. The Stripers, which are the Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, decided to adopt him. But he didn't just get adopted by a staff member, he got adopted by the whole team!
But that's not all we're here to talk about. ChipPurr has found himself as a star on social media yet again! Yesterday, ChipPurr made his big-league-style debut during the Stipers' pet supply donation night, called "Purr in the Park." Leading him to the pitcher's mount, staff members lured him with treats to deliver an adorable ceremonial furst pitch.
From a dangerous encounter with traffic to a baseball field full of cheering fans, this little rescue kitty has become not only the team's newest furry MVP, but he's also become the MVP of our hearts. And who knows, he might even get us to start being interested in baseball again!
