Squirrel Goes on 'Nuts' Adventure at Yankee Stadium

A squirrel scurried across right-field at Yankee Stadium on May 23, leaving fans with expressions of “this is nuts.”

Amber Ring, an avid baseball fan, recorded this video as the New York Yankees took on the Baltimore Orioles. Ring told Storyful the squirrel was a fun highlight of the game.

“He was out there for at least an entire inning and some of the previous inning,” she said. “No one tried to shoo him off the field, and he was on the field while the game was in play.”

The squirrel can be seen making its way up toward first base before pausing as music blares. The animal then hops toward outfield where Orioles players are throwing around a ball during a break in play.

As play resumes, Orioles players rush to the ball near center field, and the animal dashes toward the outfield wall, eventually ducking under a gap into the bullpen where several Orioles players watched the game.
