What the cited sources add
The Trenton Goldens alternate identity was introduced in 2024 as a tribute to the Thunder’s long-standing tradition of featuring Golden Retrievers as full-time batdogs.[1] Due to overwhelming fan response, the Thunder made the Trenton Goldens a permanent part of their brand.[1] General Manager Jon Bodnar stated the team is excited to keep celebrating their beloved batdogs.[1] The book "Baseball in Trenton (NJ) (Images of Baseball)" was published by Arcadia Publishing on September 15, 2003.[7]
The Thunder have earned all three major Minor League Baseball awards: the Johnson Trophy, the Larry MacPhail Trophy, and the Bob Frietas Award.[1]
