Plenty of unusual things happen in press boxes, but a bat invasion is pretty odd even by those standards. That’s what happened with the New York Mets’ press box at Citi Field Tuesday ahead of their game with the Cincinnati Reds. Here’s video of that from Ken Davidoff of The New York Post:

This obviously led to a lot of puns:
Appears the Mets have acquired a healthy bat. https://t.co/NFr571eqBD

You haven’t seen a bat flip like this. (@KenDavidoff/@NYPost_Mets on the scene) https://t.co/WkfslxluD9

It’s just too bad that Matt Harvey isn’t with the Reds any more, or we could have seen a lot of “The Dark Knight Returns” references.
