TV Star Mr. Nutz

The last time I saw my evil nemesis Mr. Nutz the crazy squirrel, he had just gotten through rampaging across the world. I met him in the forest and he was vowing revenge upon me and anyone else who got in his way. This was about a month and a half ago. I've been wondering lately what happened to him. Last night I found out!

It seems Mr. Nutz has now become famous. He's a TV star. I was watching the baseball game, my favorite sport, on TV last night, and a little brown interruption ran out onto the ball field. Yup, it was a crazy little squirrel, and he caused so much trouble that they had to stop the ball game.

They had to send out several people to try to chase him off the field. You can see those guys in the brown jackets chasing a little brown speck in the picture at the top. That speck in front of the two on the right is that little rascal Mr. Nutz. They chased him around the field like a bunch of fools until he finally decided to climb one of the walls.

Here's a nice closeup of that little trouble maker running for his life. This was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It was better than the ball game, because my team blew this game. He ran around the field for quite awhile as they tried their best to catch him. I guess they just weren't fast enough because he got away easily.

Here's the happy part where the lost little squirrel climbed the outfield wall and made his way into the bushes. He climbed right into that hole in front of him. The huge crowd of people at the stadium cheered him on the whole way.

This one little squirrel stopped a baseball game that was being broadcast to millions of people. The millionaires that play the game were now being payed all that money to watch Mr. Nutz run around the field. They make so much money to run around out there and all the squirrel got was chased away.

After a few minutes of hiding, Mr. Nutz came back out of the bushes and laid down on top of the wall. He was exhausted from that huge chase. I guess now he just wanted to lay there and watch the baseball game. He stayed like this for a little while.

Before any of you decide to feel sorry for him, I have to tell you that as soon as he caught his breath he jumped down from the wall and did the whole thing all over again. He wasn't happy with doing it only once. So there you go. That's what Mr. Nutz is doing now. I guess he's much too famous to pick on me now.

For any of you who are concerned about this squirrel's safety, I'm sure that he snuck out of the place after everyone left. Things like this happen sometimes, and the animal is usually just fine, but probably a little wiser afterward.

  1. I was at a ballgame once too last year when Mr. Nutz made an appearance. It was so funny how all the people pulled for the squirrel and didn't mind the game interruption at all. It definitely was the highlight. I've only seen this once but it made that game really special! Here's my post about it: http://zemeks.blogspot.com/2008/09/70-free-club-seat-tickets-for-indians.html

  2. It must be fun and exciting to watch! Mr. Nutz is quite a teaser, and I have to say he is a daring adventurer also.

  3. I guess since the game was boring, he had to repeat the show to keep the crowd energized and give them something worth watching besides a boring game.

  20. Karen - Your post was great! I saw the same thing happen with a squirrel a few weeks ago just like it happened here. He was even laying on the outfield wall just like in my game. I think Mr. Nutz wants to be a baseball star.
