The man who helped remove a beehive at Chase Field that caused a delay at the Diamondbacks game spoke after throwing out the first pitch and having a baseball card made in his image.

There was a lot of buzz at Chase Field last night, too much buzz. Hundreds, if not thousands, of bees gathered on the very top of the foul net behind home plate at the Diamondbacks game, causing a delay of nearly two hours.Crews were called in to remove the bees and it was not an easy task.Matt Hilton said he was at his son's t-ball game in Surprise when he got the call to remove the bees. His handiwork earned him a standing ovation from fans, and special recognition during the game.

He stepped up to the plate, so to speak, to take care of the bee invasion and afterward the crowd cheered for him like he hit a home run.He was honored by the team by being asked to throw out the ceremonial first pitch."Usually, it's a lot cooler people than me doing the first pitches, but it was really cool. I got to throw some flare out there and get the crowd going. It was a cool experience," he said.
