May 7 is a big day in Oakland A’s history. It’s the date that Mike Fiers threw his no-hitter in 2019, the 13th no-no in franchise lore. That’s easily the most notable human achievement on that date, but expand to the rest of the animal kingdom and you’ll find another fun memory that proved to be even more impactful.
On May 7, 1990, with the A’s hosting the Yankees at the Coliseum, a cat ran onto the field and interrupted the game. After scampering around for a bit, she finally made her way into the A’s dugout and play resumed.
