Yankee fans went home happy on Tuesday night thanks to a walk-off win set up by a game-tying home run from Aaron Judge in the ninth inning, but some got a scare early in the game thanks to a squirrel running along the outfield wall.
The squirrel was sprinting along the top of the outfield wall, and YES Network cameras caught the reactions of the fans seated in the first row, catching them all in slow motion looking horrified as the squirrel scampered along before falling down the wall and onto the field.
It likely wasn’t the proudest moment for those fans, who looked absolutely terrified.
The Yankees have a history with squirrels, as one somehow made its way to the top of the foul pole back in 2007, and became a rally mascot for the Bombers, who stormed back in the second half of the season to clinch a playoff berth.
