ANAHEIM — It was a throwback to the baseball days of old when players participated in fun pregame goofy contests to entertain fans.
As part of their annual dairy farmers night at Angels Stadium, there was a cow-milking contest before the game. Yes, two real dairy cows were brought on to the infield from a local farm with representatives from each team participating in the milking contest. Other teams have similar promotions as part of National Dairy Month.
The Angels had two-way player Jared Walsh as their representative. While the Mariners had Yusei Kikuchi and Shed Long represent them.
