First pitch was delayed until the swarm moved along.

By Matt Bonesteel Matt Bonesteel Reporter for the Early Lead Email Bio Follow May 6 at 1:39 PM And now for something you never, ever want to read on the scoreboard at a baseball game:— C. Trent Rosecrans May 6, 2019 The start of Monday afternoon’s Reds-Giants game in Cincinnati was delayed for about 20 minutes because a swarm of bees decided to set up shop near home plate at Great American Ball Park, eventually moving into the stands.

At a reds game? All 25 fans prolly just went home.

I certainly would have come in handy here.

Did they kill them?

Is that Jose Canseco?

Only 20 minutes?!

😯😯😯

I saw that happen once before, years ago. They were all over one of the cameras. A beekeeper was called in to remove them. Color commentator Tony Kubek said he would have removed them himself.

.bonobos37 this is your literal nightmare! I guess I’m just part of nightmare Twitter now.

Jackass entitled [demographic] men while we depend on bees to feed us. Glad they swarmed a fuqqing team. Game = low priority on the life and living list.
