A squirrel invaded the field at Yankee Stadium during the ongoing match between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees on Friday, August 22, which caused a delay to restart. The speeding mammal came out from the area behind the banners that installed boundaries of the ground. I suddenly started running onto the field during the fourth inning of the game and stopped behind Boston rookie Jhostynxon Garcia’s left foot as the outfielder took a timeout and adjusted his batting gloves.

The squirrel stopped for a second on the third-base foul line before heading to the front of the mound, where it briefly tried to dig a hole as Yankee ace Max Fried looked on. After stopping on the mound, the squirrel sped towards first baseman Ben Rice, went past first base umpire Carlos Torres and down the right-field line.
Once play resumed, Fried walked Nixon by throwing a pitch to the backstop as the squirrel continued to attempt to find an exit.
