More Cats on the Field … Purrfect.

Apr 13, 2017

I have to say, while I didn’t necessarily think the Marlins’ new outfielder/cat was going to be the last feline on a professional baseball field, I also didn’t think we’d be back here so soon.

Indeed, this tiny little fur ball must’ve heard the Yokohama DeNA Baystars were playing the Hanshin Tigers and got a little ahead of himself:

You may be cat, little guy, but you’re not quite a tiger. Pretty soon a “Cat-Delay” is going to be added to the official rule book, isn’t it?!
