Blue Jays. Cardinals. Orioles.
It’s not surprising a cat might be interested in baseball with all of its feathered-themed clubs.
But, that didn’t stop shocked fans from cheering on a frisky feline that interrupted a MLB game in Anaheim Thursday night.
In the fourth inning of the St. Louis-Anaheim game, an orange-and-white cat sprang onto the field and was seen sprinting from the Cardinals’ dugout across the diamond.
The nimble cat showed its agility, making it from first to third in less than five seconds, something that takes the average major-leaguer twice the time.
“Man, he is fast,” the Fox Sports announcer said.
After streaking across the field, the frantic cat jumped into the third base stands, forcing fans to their feet as it ran beneath the seats of several sections.
Eventually a fearless Angels’ fan in the front row grabbed the cat, paying no attention to the terrified tabby’s claws.
The cat was taken to a local adoption agency where they hope to find a new home for it.
St. Louis benefitted from the “rally cat,” beating Anaheim 12-10.
