Viewpoint Extra: What’s the buzz in San Diego?

And the bee keeper has come in and done his job, and we’re now back into the ball game.

What’s the buzz in San Diego?

I’m watching this unfold on ESPN America, with coverage being provided by Fox Sports Houston. 

A swarm of bees has descended on a chair just by the left field line, during the top of the 9th Inning.  Houston Astros were leading the San Diego Padres by 6 to 1 with 2 outs down in the top of the 9th, when the left fielder comes in and alerts the umpires to the situation.  A swarm of bees has taken up temporary residence under a jacket that had been worn by one of the ball girls.

I’m told that swarms have stopped other sporting events, but I have to say, this is the first time I have seen this happen.  It’s fascinating coverage right now, and they’re saying that they expect play to resume in the next 15 to 30 minutes.
