Bullpen car

The New York Mets introduced a bullpen car based on a golf cart with an oversized team hat in 1967.

[2][4] The White Sox introduced a bullpen car built off of a Chrysler LeBaron in 1981,[4] but it was also unpopular with pitchers, who refused to ride in it, and fans, who threw garbage at it.

On Opening Day of the 1982 season, the Mariners' Bill Caudill hid the keys to the bullpen car, causing a delay in the start of the game.

The last MLB team to use a bullpen car prior to its reintroduction in 2018 was Milwaukee, which phased out their motorcycle (which was also produced by Harley-Davidson) in 1995.

In the 1980s, the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Nippon Professional Baseball introduced a bullpen car, a one-off Datsun Bluebird (910) convertible.

[11] In 2017, the BayStars began using the Nissan Leaf, while Yasuaki Yamasaki used a Toyota MR-S to enter games.

[21] While the car was available on Opening Day, March 29, 2018, the first reliever to make use of it was Collin McHugh on May 5, 2018, for a sixth-inning relief role in the Diamondbacks' 18th home game of the season.
