If you want to see the Yankees in spring training, you’re going to have to buy tickets like everyone else. On Sunday, while Yankees players were in the clubhouse for an MLBPA meeting, members of the grounds crew battled a feisty raccoon that climbed to the top of a net behind home plate. Who said it's boring at Yankee camp? Today we have a raccoon standoff (it ends well!!) — Marly Rivera ~ ESPN (@MarlyRiveraESPN) Don’t worry. Despite that reaction from the media watching the standoff, the furry mammal was just fine. reported “the pesky little critter took off through the stands toward right field, prompting eight stadium workers to follow it in that direction. The raccoon moved back toward home plate and up into the upper level of seats, eventually escaping the ballpark without being caught.” But it wasn’t the first time a raccoon came to Steinbrenner Field.
