Getting squirrelly

This squirrelly newcomer caused quite a stir in the third inning.

A brown squirrel ran onto Jacobs Field Wednesday night and ran circles around the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians.

After romping through the outfield, it dashed toward the infield to the delight of the cheering crowd. The squirrel then ran between Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and shortstop Derek Jeter, who stood watching the critter.

After a brief delay, play continued when the squirrel ran out and settled down in center field. Tthe squirrel was still out there in the fifth inning.
