GRIFFITH PARK—Two baby raccoons were spotted wandering into Dodger Stadium during the baseball game on Tuesday, July 7 against the Colorado Rockies. They were seen roaming underneath the outfield wall padding and along the warning track. Broadcasters acknowledged the furry critters on air and told viewers that help was on the way.
The two raccoons, one brown and one gray, went viral on social media. Multiple posts and clips spread quickly across platforms including TikTok, Instagram and X. Fans joked online about wanting to adopt the raccoons, despite it being illegal to do so.
Officials gave no explanation for how the animals got onto the field. The incident occurred during the same game in which Shohei Ohtani hit his 300th career home run. The Dodgers lost the game 4 to 3, falling behind after Colorado scored three runs in the eighth inning.
