Watch: Minor league baseball game interrupted by turtle delay

The best thing about this sequence is the outfielders not knowing what to do with it at first before trying to close in as the turtle tried to escape.
Eventually a player came out of the Bradenton bullpen, picked up the reptile and held it up like a trophy before sprinting off the field with his new friend.

While the turtle caused only a very brief delay this was the second time in a matter of weeks that wildlife brought a baseball game to a halt. It was only a couple of weeks ago in Arizona that a Diamondbacks game was delayed for several hours after a swarm of bees had taken up residence in the netting behind home plate.

Fortunately this delay was a lot easier to fix. Also a lot faster.
