"Hey look, there's an animal on the field!"

April 12, 2017 Peter Elliott

On Tuesday night, the Marlins-Braves game was delayed because a cat ran onto the field and scaled the left center wall. It's a great story and likely one that Tony LaRussa will treasure forever. The man has 17 (!!!!!!!!!!!) cats. Nevertheless, I couldn't get enough of these tweets.

Have just been informed that if a Marlin hits another HR, they will not turn on the Home Run Sculpture out of safety for the cat.

As an uncle of six great nieces and nephews, I take great pride in developing an interest for baseball in each of them. One easy way to do that is showing them videos of animals running onto a baseball field. The Marlins cat now sits atop all other cat streakers. Here are my favorites for other animals.
