Search for Raul Ibanez foul ball quickly devolves into a zombie nightmare

Search for Raul Ibanez foul ball becomes a zombie nightmare

When Raul Ibanez hit a foul ball into an unoccupied part of Progressive Field during Tuesday night's Angels-Indians game, we all assumed it was just that: another foul ball in a game that sees dozens of them. 

But no. Not this time. This time, something went horribly, terrifyingly wrong. 

First, a fan sprinted after the ball. As if someone or something was chasing him.

Sure enough, once separated the two boys were soon joined by a number of "walkers" out in search of fresh foul balls.

"Braaaains. I need brai-- I mean, foul baaaaalls. I need foul baaaaaalls."

Or was it?! 

(No. No, it wasn't.)
