The Sioux Falls Stampede, a USHL hockey team, annually transforms into the Fighting Wiener Dogs to support local charity efforts. This year, they honored New York Yankees stars Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo by presenting them with custom jerseys for their pet dachshunds. The jerseys, which featured the names of Judge and Rizzo's dogs - Kevin, Penny, and Gus, were part of the team's efforts to raise funds through donations for the Dakota Dachshund Rescue, a local organization dedicated to the breed. The event, known as the Annual Wiener Dog Night, has garnered new lifelong fans within the Rizzo and Judge families, highlighting the unique intersection of sports, community support, and animal welfare.
