Video: Wild Squirrel Chase at Comerica Park

It was only a matter of time before video of last night's wild squirrel chase at Comerica Park showed up on the internet.  Red Sox Monster just sent over a clip that they posted.   (And fortunately, it's from the FOX Sports Detroit broadcast.)  As Dan shares with us, so shall we share with you:

There's also video at the Tigers official site, along with Jason Beck's entertaining account of the squirrel chase. (The varmint was eventually corralled in the Red Sox dugout.)  

This might have to become a new scoreboard game at Comerica Park between innings.  Another possibility, like other baseball teams having sausagehot dog, or Presidents races, the Tigers could have three people dress up in giant squirrel outfits and have them race around the field.  Or we should just make the squirrel an unofficial mascot. Rally Squirrel, anyone?

I dig the rally squirrel, but he didn’t help us rally. Maybe he was just nervous for his debut.

Yeah, that's a good point

The Tigers didn’t exactly surge back after the squirrel appeared. Maybe it was some Red Sox distraction trick.

I was there

And the squirrel was definitely the highlight of the night. We were all rooting for him. He was soooo scared after the grounds crew started chasing him. I got some pretty nice shots of the little fellow as he made his way around to the third base side.
