Will the squirrel get benched for not running directly to first, though?
The Brewers' game Wednesday against the Mets featured a wildlife sighting in the fourth inning, when a squirrel on the field distracted the players and caught the attention of cameras, leading to a brief delay.

There was a brief squirrel delay at Citi Field. I think Gary Sanchez tried to feed it sunflower seeds.

SNY shouldn’t show squirrels on the field. It will encourage more squirrels to run on the field.
— WFANTrades (@WFANTrades) August 27, 2026 The furry fan was first spotted atop the netting at Citi Field in New York , an inescapable predicament without first descending to the field. Which it did.
It's not the first rodent moment at Citi Field over the past week; a raccoon reaching its paw from underneath the bleachers helped itself to some food remnants Aug. 19 and was captured in a video that went viral.
A different squirrel stole the show during a game in Detroit between the Orioles and Tigers in July.
