An adorable raccoon crashed the Citi Field stands for Pirates-Mets
The New York Mets welcomed a furry friend to Wednesday night's baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
A raccoon made its way into Citi Field and walked around the stands with a bunch of curious Mets fans looking on from a distance.
We're sure this raccoon just wanted to get a seat for the Mets game, as New York is quite good this season. Hey, who are we to judge what this fine animal wants to do with his evening? He's got great taste in baseball!
We're sure New York animal control will round this critter up and safely release him back into the wild, but we hope he gets some good baseball in before he's escorted out of the venue.
Good for this raccoon. Maybe he got to eat a hot dog and meet Mr. Met before he left?

Mike Trout homers, but Angels get swept by Mets to end trip
NEW YORK — Pete Alonso hit a three-run homer to power the New York Mets to a 6-3 win and series sweep of the Angels on Wednesday. Alonso, mired in a 2-for-34 slump dating to July 10, homered two batters after Francisco Lindor broke a career-long 0-for-31 drought with an RBI single. Brandon Nimmo hit his 14th career leadoff homer and Lindor added another RBI single in the fourth for the Mets, who swept a series for the fifth time this season. Sean Manaea (1-1), making his third appearance and second start after battling oblique and elbow injuries, allowed one run and struck out five over five innings. Edwin Díaz got the final four outs for his 21st save. Mike Trout homered in the third — the 396th home run and 999th RBI of his career — for the Angels, who were swept for the seventh time. Luis Rengifo (forceout) and Chris Taylor (double) collected RBIs in the seventh. Left-hander Jake Eder (0-1), the last of three Angels pitchers on a bullpen day, gave up five runs in a career-high six innings. Alonso's first homer since July 8 was the 248th of his career, pulling him within four of Darryl Strawberry for the all-time franchise lead. Trout is aiming to become the second active player with 400 homers and the ninth with 1,000 RBIs. Angels LHP Yusei Kikuchi (4-6, 3.13 ERA) starts Thursday, when the Angels return home for a four-game series against the Seattle Mariners and RHP Logan Evans (3-3, 3.81 ERA).
