Umpires expect fans to disagree with them from time to time, but one minor league baseball umpire felt the heat from the crowd after he interrupted the work of Finn the bat dog.

Finn, who retrieves dropped bats for the Las Vegas Aviators, was on his way to collect when the umpire picked up the bat and threw it towards the dugout as boos echoed around the ground.

But Finn wouldn't be deterred, and still went after the bat to finish his job, leaving the umpire to rue his bad call away from the action.
