Bees Are Not Fans of Scott Boras

If bees are going to invade your dugout-level suite, just make sure you aren't there when they do. Fortunately, superagent Scott Boras didn't appear to be at the Angels-Athletics game on Sunday when a swarm took over his front-row seats directly behind home plate for the first two innings.

The bees were removed with the help of a vacuum, but didn't quite phase photo-happy fans like the one above.

It wasn't the first time an MLB game has been disrupted by insects. If you recall, swarms of bees also got cozy in the left-center bleachers at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 22. An Astros-Padres game in July was delayed 52 minutes by a swarm that descended during the ninth inning. The Padres estimated 2,000 bees had flown in from center field before settling near rookie Kyle Blanks in left field.

And who could forget the 'Midge Attack' of 2007, when pesky bugs from Lake Erie became a grand spectacle during a playoff game between the Yankees and Indians. New York pitcher Joba Chamberlain seemed to be the most affected that night, as he lost his control and uncorked two wild pitches.

Chamberlain's neck is thankful those days are long gone.

Pictures from that infamous postseason incident are below.
