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:

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