DENVER — Watching Bees baseball is a terrific way to spend a warm spring evening over at Spring Mobile Ballpark. Grab a hot dog or some funnel cake, sit back and relax while enjoying some aspiring athletes play in front of one of the most scenic backdrops in all of sports.
Mixing bees and baseball, however, isn't nearly quite as fun.
Hundreds, perhaps even thousands of bees swarmed near the Colorado Rockies' dugout during the fifth inning of their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday.
An entire colony of bees descended into Coors Field and parked near a television camera, causing quite the commotion for players and fans.
After the action on the field was delayed for a few minutes, the umpires determined that the game could proceed.
Finally, during the sixth inning, a beekeeper arrived with a large vacuum to relocate the bees somewhere outside of the stadium.
You've undoubtedly heard of "Snakes on a Plane" - so could "Bees in a Ballpark" be Hollywood's next big hit?
On second thought, probably not.
Goal of the Season
Japanese soccer provided the highlight of the week in sports.
Only six minutes had passed in the match-up between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Yokohama F. Marinos last Saturday when Toshihiro Aoyama booted the ball 75-yards upfield, and unbelievably his shot sailed over the keeper and straight into the net.
Incredible.
And even though the post-goal celebration was quite ridiculous, when you kick a 75-yard goal, you should be able to celebrate any way that you want.
Amazing kick save secures Game 2 for Devils
From one kick to another, we now head to the ice.
With a one goal lead early in the second period, New Jersey Devils' goalie Martin Brodeur made a spectacular save with his leg, kicking the puck with his skate to keep the New York Rangers, who were on a power play, off the board.
The forty-year-old Canadian finished with 23 saves as the Devils went on to win Game 2 3-2, tying the best of seven series at 1-1.
The well deserved victory marked Brodeur's 108th playoff win.
