MILWAUKEE — No double switch. No tale of deceit.
The Milwaukee Brewers say it's still the same Hank the dog.
The Brewers confirmed Friday that their furry, four-legged mascot — who officially goes by Hank the Ballpark Pup — is the same bichon frise mix that walked on to the team's spring training complex in Phoenix two years ago.
"This is definitely the original Hank, and this a notarized document from Hank's veterinarian," chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger said, holding the document up in his hand as if he was making a closing argument.
Hank was then escorted into the lobby of the Wisconsin Humane Society, where the Brewers met the media.
