Last week, the great Hank Aaron himself finally met the Brewers ballpark pup Hank. It was a touching moment, for sure. And, you gotta think that the Hank magic (from both the legend and the dog) has helped the Brewers maintain their first place position throughout this 2014 season.
Now, as we enter the September stretch it’s time to go back to an item that helped fuel the Hank "craze," Brew City’s plush "I Heart Hank" doll.
Cute and cuddly, this pup makes a great gift and a perfect good luck charm for the rest of the season.
Buy one of these 8-inch tall dogs today and a percentage of the sale will be donated to Wisconsin Humane Society in honor of Hank.
