The Blue Jays and the Angels found themselves in a sticky situation on the field this afternoon.
A swarm of bees sent players from both teams bolting from the field Sunday during the third inning in Anaheim. The bees stopped the game for 13 minutes.
We interrupt the #StroShow for a quick showing of the Bee Movie. We will keep you updated. 🐝

This of course isn’t the first time bees have stung Major League Baseball. Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward was stung 10 times during Spring Training.
