Dangerous, Dirty, and Unfun

So the other day, the Cleveland Racist Mascots, I mean, Indians, won a game against the Kansas City Royals when a bottom-of-the-10th-inning hit with runners on first and second by Shin-Soo Choo hit one of the many seagulls hanging out in shallow center field, putting the immediate kibosh on any sort of play at the plate, and Cleveland won in walk-off fashion as Mark DeRosa scored from second amid the confusion. Watch the video!

This would all be a quirky, albeit heartbreaking for Royals fans, little baseball story if not for the fact that it happened in Cleveland where, a year and a half ago, the Yankees infamously lost a game after reliever Joba Chamberlain was attacked by a plague of locusts. When is Major League Baseball going to step in?! What sort of menagerie are the Indians running over there? Calling down all manner of beasts to smite your opponents isn’t in the spirit of baseball, and it’s got to stop. I mean, look at this clip from last month, when the Devil Rays visited Cleveland. It’s unacceptable!
