Over 2000 Bees Swarm Baseball Game
Posted by Justin on July 3rd, 2009Bees decided to derail the ninth inning of a Major League Baseball game at PETCO Park yesterday in San Diego. According the MLB.com, a swarm of over 2000 flew into the stadium from center field, over the seats in left before settling into a jacket which was quickly abandoned by a ball girl.
The game was delayed, a local bee keeper was called and the game was resumed after a 52-minute delay.
Amusingly, MLB.com got comment form the manufacturer of the jacket which apparently served as a fun new hive for the swarm.
“To our knowledge this is the first time that bees have swarmed Majestic on-field MLB apparel,” Majestic said in a statement. “We can only guess that the bees are attracted as Major League players to the warmth and comfort of our performance fabrics.
“However, players and fans should rest assured that our product testing has shown no risk from swarming bees. We regret the inconvenience and Majestic will be providing the affected ballgirl a replacement jacket shortly.”
Good to know.
