CLEVELAND (AP) -- This will forever be known as the Bug Game.
A swarm of insects descended on Jacobs Field in the eighth inning of the Cleveland Indians' 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night, leading to a bizarre scene featuring players from both teams waving their arms and gloves in an attempt to keep the pesky bugs away.
The two teams kept playing as millions of bugs nagged players on the field and in the dugouts.
The Yankees were on the verge of tying the series when the pesky insects arrived in a scenario only Alfred Hitchcock could imagine.
I actually fell asleep with this game on the idiot tube and I missed this.
