I liked Marley because he looks a lot like my dog Piper and makes trouble like my dog Piper.

What happens when mischievous Marley goes to a baseball game with his humans? Shenanigans! Obtained from a nearby Little Free Library then read aloud to Rain as part of a task for the library's adult summer reading challenge.

Cassie and Daddy attend a baseball game, and take Marley with them. When the game starts, Marley thinks it's a game of fetch, joins in and causes a disruption on the field.
