Rally Squirrel' Returns During Cards-Phillies Game, On a nippy night in October 2011, the Phillies and Cardinals squared off in an exemplary NLDS amusement. Roy Oswalt was on the slope for the meeting Phils and was given a two-run lead before he ever needed to take the hill. Yet, in the later innings ... things took a turn.
A squirrel kept running crosswise over home plate as Oswalt was situated to convey a pitch to Skip Schumaker. The umpire called it a ball, regardless of supplications from Oswalt and after that chief Charlie Manuel for a "no-pitch."
The Cardinals went ahead to win Game 4 ... what's more, Game 5 ... and after that the NLCS ... what's more, inevitably the World Series. This Rally Squirrel thing had legs.
Quick forward to Friday night. Yadier Molina and the Cardinals have the best record and baseball and are going by the Phillies (who don't). In any case, no doubt the Cards would not like to take any risks on the grounds that they carried the Rally Squirrel with them.
The Cards were at that point up 4-0 in the highest point of the second inning when the squirrel started to scale the net behind home plate.
In the long run, it fell onto the highest point of the home underground joint before devoting itself completely to a large group of players.
"When I saw it in my face I simply brushed it away," said Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera, who was close where the squirrel hopped into the underground joint.
Abruptly it was 11-0. Much the same as that. Things in the end cooled off and the Cardinals never thought back, yet Phillies fans will likely be seeing that squirrel in their bad dreams for the following couple of days.
