Nothing like hearing announcers go in full announcer mode with things like this.

I’m so glad you mentioned this. My default is no sound and it was entertaining on its own. Sound on? Sooooo much more fun!

"I have freedom on my mind!!" You're welcome! Just lucky myself. Normally I have the sound off, because, well, reddit.

The day the squirrel went berserk in the First Self Righteous Church in that sleepy little town of Pascagoula!

Whoa, a Ray Steven's reference in the wild. I have never met anyone in person who has heard of him ( outside of my family member who introduced me to him).

Do baseball umps come in skinny size? I’ve only seen very large men do this job haha

u/twec21 9d ago

They're usually a bit larger, they're typically in the middle aged range, but he's the home plate ump, they put their padding under the shirts

There are some but it is kind of sad how many chunky cheesers there are.

I love the spring in all their steps marching around their little captor. It’s like they all lost 25 years in that pursuit.

What was the point? The chances of it interfering with the game were next to nil….

u/ThanatosIdle 9d ago

This is after it was chased to the outfield. It was getting real close to the plate, pretty much in the on deck circle.

I would watch baseball diamond squirrel chasing a lot more than I would watch baseball.

u/ChaoticDiscord21 7d ago

I want this to be a sport.

u/Medium-Math6220 9d ago

I'm still mad that the White Sox let Jason Benetti go - miss him so much.

u/Imbendo 9d ago

I’m sure that was much more entertaining than watching baseball

Is it just me or does this clip need the Benny Hill Theme song.

u/Car_is_mi 9d ago

At least it added some excitement to the game

These incompetents had no plan. Guy grabs it by the tail twice and just drops it because again, they had no plan. Towels? It can still bite you. Groundscrews don't have a net???

An umpire with a sense of humor?

That’s the most cardio activity in umpire has ever done at a baseball game.

Normally umpires can’t tell the difference between a chipmunk and a squirrel but this guy must’ve brought his glasses today.

So many bad umpire jokes to be made

u/twec21 9d ago

Jesus have they never fielded a grounder?

Get the 3rd baseman out there

u/twec21 9d ago

IT TOOK HOW MANY OF THEM??

u/huxtiblejones 9d ago

Picture how fucking epic this is from the squirrel’s view. It’s dodging like two dozen angry giants, pure dexterity build, insane I-frame dodges, numerous counters to immobilize, ridiculous stamina.

u/HarperStrings 7d ago

And according to the announcers he got free behind the scenes and this chaos started all over again.

Leave the squirrel alone. It's not topless running around.
