The Animal Kingdom Fights Back Against the Sporting World

Well, it wasn’t a black cat, but I can’t imagine this cat, that interrupted the Mets home opener at brand new Citi Field, imparted any luck on the team:

I really enjoy whenever wild animals interact with sporting events.  Let’s take a look at some examples:

Randy Johnson hits a bird:

Michael Ballack hits a bird (you can see it if you look carefully at the 15 second mark)

Tennis player hits a bird:

Florida Panthers – Rat Attack!!! (4:30 mark)

Detroit Red Wings Octopi:

Midges attack Joba Chamberlain

Seagull steals Steve Lowery’s Golf Ball

Foxes Stealing Golf Balls

Old Lady Hits Seagull (not for the faint of heart)

Indy Car hits Bird (Same disclaimer as above)

The Legendary Black Cat at Wrigley Field in 1969

Squirrel on the Field at a Cardinals Game:

Squirrel Interrupts an entire inning of baseball at the Indians / White Sox Game: I like how it crawls around on it’s stomach like a ninja. I also like how the ump at the 2:30 doesn’t move at all when the squirrel gets within 6 inches of him. I would have run into the third row like a seven year old girl when that rabies ridden devil squirrel got that close to me.

This was probably the worst example of an animal ruining a sporting event. Somehow this dying cat wandered onto the field during the national anthem during a Padres game. It’s absolutely horrifying.
