With the MLB offseason now fully entrenched, time must be passed. Take a look at the best baseball Twitter follow, Bat Dog Rookie.
The baseball offseason can be a dark time. Fan-favorite players are moved, organizations sell off their best players to begin a rebuild, and fans with terrible opinions take over social media and make sure you hear about them.
In these dark times, we need Twitter accounts that we can trust to bring us out of the offseason darkness.
Trenton Thunder’s batdog, Rookie, is the Twitter follow we all need.

Offseason Rookie is living his life to the absolute fullest right now. Sure he may miss the everyday grind of being the best-looking employee in the entire sport but he isn’t going to let that ruin his vacation days.
Rookie is going to enjoy his time off and make sure everyone on Twitter knows it. That is exactly the kind of positivity we need more of until Baseball comes back.
Rookie spends his offseason making new friends.
It's Saturday Funday @GreenLeafPups. I made some new friends. Next stop…The Pool for swimming. pic.twitter.com/qsWXTDpiho

Rookie spends time thinking about his youth and all the friends he’s made on this crazy journey of life.
This warm weather reminds me of my first day on the field with the @TrentonThunder. It was the 2014 Team Picture…I was now part of the team. #ThrowbackThursday pic.twitter.com/SHfubCekTR

Rookie takes the time to enjoy all the holidays between October and March by celebrating them to the fullest.
I'm waiting at the door for the kids. I brought my little Krypto the Superdog with me. We have the same cape. I have a lot of candy to give out. #HappyHalloween . pic.twitter.com/KKVIyrhFoH

Rookie takes the time to explore new hobbies to broaden his worldviews and make him a more well-rounded pup.
I was wandering around the clubhouse areas and found Boomer's motorbike, I think he would let me ride it on the field. I just need to get a helmet. pic.twitter.com/j4D8tvBWNe

In an absolutely relatable way, Rookie uses his time in the offseason to catch up on some must needed rest and truly enjoy the quiet days in.

Rookie visits friends and goes swimming with them.
Best day ever!!!. Sawyer surprised me and came over to @GreenLeafPups to swim with me. We had a blast, even though she beat me in a couple of races. #AquaPups. pic.twitter.com/LYuao1eY1w

Rookie also jokes around with the other sports pups.
I hope he's not in the penalty box. https://t.co/1CCV9IRrXu

Most importantly, Rookie shares his appreciation for the game of baseball.
Our grounds crew is s going to be putting down grass seed on the field today. So I went out for a morning outfield run. The stadium is so quiet with all the empty seats. #WaitingForApril. pic.twitter.com/90D1BrS5SX

While some may just see a dog that retrieves bats for his team, a deeper dive into Batdog Rookie’s twitter account shows a fun loving pup who is soaking up everything baseball life has to offer. That makes Rookie the number one must follow on Twitter in my book.
