Hey @MLBNetwork, @ArchieBradley7 would like a word with you. #VoteLamb pic.twitter.com/AIyPH01r8o

And the madness begins...

I'm hearing the @Dbacks will have a live Lamb on the field at the ballpark tonite during batting practice #votelamb Text N3 to 89269 to vote

Lamb suit as in the animal, not one that looks like Jake Lamb #Dbacks

But just in case you were thinking that was it...

There is a live lamb at Chase Field. In addition to Jake.

And now @Mike_Ferrin makes the All-Star case for @JakeLamb18 in a lamb costume. #VoteLamb pic.twitter.com/aSU9JOPerB

There's someone in a lamb suit running around in the OF during #Dbacks batting practice. Wearing a glove.

Of course, real animals are not without their... real issues.

There are also lamb droppings in the #Dbacks dugout. pic.twitter.com/xZZcjKe5Hb

I have to say @CaseyWilcoxAZ is doing a bang up job of cleaning up after the lamb. Man knows how to work a pooper scooper.

But perhaps the most unbelievable thing to come out this afternoon? Paul Goldschmidt is on Twitter. It may not last long, but he's there...

Just your typical Wednesday in the @Dbacks clubhouse. #VoteLamb pic.twitter.com/5s6h60dmTN

All told, it was quite an experience, and was a real joy to follow on social media as it unfolded. I've got to concur with Mr. Gilbert:

I've covered the #Dbacks since their inception and this is by far the most unique day ever.

— Steve Gilbert (@SteveGilbertMLB) July 6, 2016

In what has undeniably been a disappointing season, this has to be one of the most genuinely entertaining bits of fun the team has had. But in case you've forgotten the point, I'd better finish with this...

It's Jake...from the #Dbacks. #VoteLambhttps://t.co/K21fydDeU6
