Squirrel on the short porch sends Yanks fans into state of shock
Every year, it seems as if a squirrel finds a way to impact an MLB game.
Last year, a game between the Cubs and Pirates was delayed when a squirrel scurried around the warning track, while a game between the Cardinals and Tigers from earlier this season featured an appearance from one of St. Louis¡¯ trademark rally squirrels.
On Tuesday, a squirrel found a new way to interrupt a baseball game by running along the outfield wall during the Yankees' game against the Orioles ¨C a move that elicited some priceless reactions from the crowd.
The squirrel¡¯s mad dash to stardom started in the Yankees¡¯ bullpen, but it quickly made its way to the top of the outfield wall. By the time cameras caught up to the squirrel, it had already sent two Yankees fans into a state of shock.
From there, it ran further down the edge of the wall, where the fans' reactions ranged from dumbfounded to disinterested.
After a slight slip, the squirrel fell down the eight-foot, five-inch-tall outfield wall, where it stuck the landing in an incredibly impressive display of athleticism that set a high bar for the next bushy-tailed friend that makes an appearance in an MLB stadium.
