No, not the bees! Not the bees!
A swarm of honey-making insects invaded the Rockies-Padres’ preseason game Thursday. In the top of the ninth inning with Rockies’ Daniel Castro at the plate, a bevy bees filled the the infield forcing everyone on the field to lay flat on the ground.
“This is reminiscent of Petco Park a few years ago,” Rockies manager Bud Black said in an interview after the game. “Remember when the beekeeper had to come down to the left-field corner? That was about 20 or 30 minutes (of delay).”
In the video, the bees eventually settled on a nearby boom mic.
