This MLB season has seen some of the stranger delays and postponements. There have been delays for drones. Postponements for wildfire smoke and air quality, COVID-19 outbreaks and oh, yeah, rain. There’s still rain.
We can add “Fan Breaks Into Stadium” as the latest cause of an in-game delay.
During Sunday’s closed-door game between the Red Sox and Yankees at Fenway Park, the eighth inning was interrupted when a fan climbed atop the green monster and started shouting things and throwing hats onto the field.
It was an odd scene, especially given the COVID-19 pandemic, with security reluctant to get too close to the guy. But mainly, players on both teams and stadium staff just wanted this guy to leave safely.

They eventually talked the guy down, but this was less than safe.
