Raccoon invades Steinbrenner Field and wreaks havoc

(Clair, Michael)

On Sunday, the creature came. With dark and beady black eyes, it skulked around the Yankees' Steinbrenner Field. No one knows of where it came or what it wanted (okay, we probably know what it wanted: delicious, delicious trash). But the creature was there, and he didn't want to go. 
What I speak of is, of course, a raccoon. 

Eventually a staff member was sent to deal with the bandit-faced threat and it looked like disaster had befell the beast that simply wanted to run the bases and find some snacks: 

Fortunately, everything turned out okay. Like Frankenstein's monster, the raccoon was able to race away, free to eat trash another day:
