Former Tennessee baseball player Jared Dickey hit a somewhat-unfortunate home run on Thursday during a minor league game.
While playing for the Lansing Lugnuts, Dickey blasted a 2-run homer well over the right field fence. The only problem? The ball appeared to land on top of a sleeping dog.
Here’s a clip from the home run:

— Tri-Star Network (@TriStar_Network) July 25, 2025Believe it or not, this does not appear to be part of a viral marketing scheme for the new Air Bud film. According to Lugnuts broadcaster Jesse Goldberg-Strasser, the dog ended up being OK following the incident.
While Dickey apparently doesn’t believe in letting sleeping dogs lie, he is having a good season in High A for the Lugnuts. He’s up to 6 home runs on the season and also has an on-base percentage of .366. He’s also struck out just 46 times in 82 games. It’s possible a promotion to AA could be coming sooner rather than later for the former Vol.
Dickey was a member of Tennessee’s 2023 team that reached the College World Series. He was then an 11th-round pick by the Kansas City Royals in the MLB Draft that summer. In July of 2024, Dickey was traded by Kansas City to the Athletics in a deal that included setup man Lucas Erceg.
