VIDEO: Colorado might have a squirrel problem
Saturday night's game between the Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies was brought to a halt at Coors Field after a squirrel found its way onto the field.

When play resumed, the squirrel can be seen running along the back-stop behind the batters box, presumably looking for an escape route, before making its way back into the infield.
The squirrel's appearance even led one reporter to ponder whether it was a sign of good fortune for the Phillies.

But this wasn't the first interruption caused by a pesky squirrel in Colorado. It wasn't even the second occurrence in the last two years.
Here's two more interruptions from 2012.

It's time to swallow your pride and call pest control, Coors Field grounds crew.
Although, it's probably better to have a squirrel problem than to have this maniac on the field:
