Sports are great. Animals are great. When the two mix, it's incredible ... sometimes.
Ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Arizona Diamondbacks received a few surprise visitors behind home plate -- bees.
There was a colony forming on the protective netting behind home plate, which resulted in 1 hour and 55-minute delay, according to the Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks had to call beekeeper Matt Hilton from Blue Sky Pest Control.
Hilton said he was at his son's T-ball game when he got the call. Little did he know he'd instantly become a fan favorite after taking care of the bees.
