On this date in 1993, the Reds at the direction of major league baseball announce that Schottzie 02, the St. Bernard dog owned by Reds president Marge Schott is being banned from the field at Riverfront Stadium for the season.
"The Executive Council did not think it was appropriate. There were numerous complaints from the players about dogs running on the field." - Rich Levin, MLB spokeperson
"We are currently studying the case law, and we think there is a way Scottzie 02 can get on the field. We understand the San Diego Chicken is really a man in a chicken suit. So, I think if we can get Schottzie in a chicken suit, he may be able to go on the field." - Robert Bennett, attorney for Marge Schott

Please tell me that attorney's comment is made up. I know it's probably not, but please tell me it anyways.

Not made up but presumably made in jest.
