Classic Cleveland.
The Indians-Twins game was delayed for several minutes Saturday when a squirrel took the field, innocently taking a lap around the ballpark.
The squirrel appeared from right field with Michael Brantley batting in the Cleveland sixth. Play was halted as the squirrel cut across the infield, angled past the mound and ran around the home plate area, drawing a loud cheer from the crowd at Progressive Field.
Chased toward right field by members of the grounds crew, the squirrel eventually hopped into the stands and play continued.
But the fans at the game weren't the only ones amused.
A Twitter user from Broadview Heights posted the below video of his dog closely watching the squirrel on TV.
