For a few magical moments on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, the biggest stars on the field weren’t wearing uniforms.
They were two adorable fluffy little baby raccoons.
Television cameras caught the unexpected pair of four-legged visitors hiding along the outfield wall on the warning track. Within seconds the video went viral and social media suddenly had a new obsession.
Clips of the adorable duo spread across TikTok, Instagram and X faster than a Shohei Ohtani homer.
“Sorry guys, we just wanted to see Ohtani,” one fan joked on X.
“Is that Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy?” wrote another user.
“They’re so cute. I hope their mom comes back for them,” wrote another.
But perhaps the sweetest comment was when one fan wrote: “Someone send them to me. I’ll adopt them.”
As for the game itself, the Colorado Rockies erased a 3-1 deficit in the top of the eighth inning with a three-run rally off a couple of Dodgers errors.
The Rockies went on to win the game 4-3.
Lost in the defeat was another historic night for Ohtani, who hit his 300th home run in the first-inning. Despite the loss, the Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 60-33 and a 14-game lead in the NL West division.
