Squirrel Leads Detroit Grounds Crew On Merry Chase

On Monday the visiting Baltimore Orioles beat the Detroit Tigers by a score of something to something.

This is not important.

What is important is that there was a squirrel.

With a squirrel's innate mischievousness and ability to completely derail whatever else is going on, the Detroit squirrel spent a couple of innings exploring increasingly precarious locations around the diamond, before a phalanx of grounds crew members and one visiting outfielder were dispatched to remove it from the premises.

If you have ever tried to capture a squirrel, you know this was easier proposed than accomplished.

There is a reason the official MLB squirrel highlight video is 12 minutes long.
