"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 spokesperson

"We are currently studying the case law, and we think there is a way Schottzie 02 can get on the field. We understand the San Diego Chicken is a really a man in a chicken suit. So, I think if we can get Schottzie 02 in a chicken suit, he may be able to go on the field." - Robert Bennett, attorney for Marge Schott
