The Chicago Cubs got New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos to ground into what would have normally been a pretty routine 4-6-3 double play in the top of the second inning on Sunday night.
But there was an extra challenging layer thrown into for Cubs middle infielders Nico Hoerner (second base) and Dansby Swanson (shortstop).
The presence of three random seagulls decided the middle of the Wrigley Field infield would be a good place to hang out and take a break.Â
As Vientos’ ground ball was hit up the middle, the seagulls scattered and Hoerner and Swanson were able to fight through that distraction and start the inning-ending double play.
Have a look.
