Marlins game delayed when cat hops up and onto park’s Home Run Sculpture
The Marlins had a feline intruder crash their Opening Night festivities Tuesday.
A gray cat snuck its way onto the field and made its way into the Marlins Park Home Run sculpture during the sixth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Braves causing a brief delay.
The cat ran toward the right field wall where it lodged itself just underneath the padding for a few moments.
But as a stadium employee and Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton approached the cat, it took off, eventually climbing the wall in center field and jumping onto the ballpark’s Home Run Sculpture.
A cat intrusion on #NationalPetDay? How purrr-fect.
