Baseball Game Delayed By Bees

Major League Baseball games get delayed all the time.

Usually, weather is the cause. But in Arizona on Tuesday night, their game against the Dodgers was delayed by bees!

Yeah. Bees.

So they had to call in a professional bee keeper to handle it.

Enter Matt Hilton, superhero bee keeper.

I love that a beekeeper saved a baseball game last night, threw out a first pitch, amped up the crowd, and did postgame interviews. Make him the MLB commissioner. pic.twitter.com/ONbBf7BZ7L

They say you see something new every time you go to a baseball game. Well, this is the first time we’ve seen a beekeeper stop the game from being cancelled.

Which is good, we wouldn’t want players or fans going full Nicolas Cage:
