Sometimes, baseball provides us with a little bit of levity.
Or in this case, a baseball squirrel.
The San Francisco Giants were taking on the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on Tuesday night, and one little squirrel stole the show.
This squirrel, with black fur, found his way into the spacious Comerica Park outfield.
He scurried around star outfielder Riley Greene, then went to search for a way out of the ballyard.
The bullpen fencing appeared to temporarily stifle the squirrel's route, but he found a way.

The broadcast video shows Tigers reliever Tyler Holton pretty spooked by the prospect of the squirrel jumping into his bullpen.
It's worth listening to the Detroit broadcasters here, too. They have a good time with the whole thing.

We'll have to see if this is a good omen for the Giants. Their Double-A affiliate is the Richmond Flying Squirrels.
